Refer to the figure below.

Define unit vectors as follows:
\hat{i} in the eastern direction
\hat{j} in the northern direction

Given:
Vectors a and b point due west and south respectively. Therefore
\vec{a} = -69 \ht{i} \\
\vec{b} = -69\hat{j}

Part (a)
\vec{a}+\vec{b}=-69\hat{i}-69\hat{j}=-69(\hat{i}+\hat{j})
The magnitude is
|-69(√[1² + 1²])| = 69√2 = 97.58.
The direction relative to west is
θ = tan⁻¹ (b/a) = tan⁻¹ 1 = 45°  south of west

Answer:
The magnitude of (a + b) is 97.58 or 69√2.
The direction is 45° south of west.

Part (b).
\vec{a} - \vec{b} = -69\hat{i}+69\hat{j}=-69(\hat{i} -\hat{j})
The magnitude is
|69(√(1+1)| = 69√2 = 97.58.
The direction relative to west is
tan⁻¹ (b/a) = 45° north of west.

Answer:
The magnitude of (a-b) is 97.58 or 69√2.
The direction is 45° north of west.
