A basic Engineering Physics (vectors/forces) problem
#3
On my phone and I briefly skimmed the problem -

with vectors, split them into horizontal and vertical components and add those individually to get the horizontal/vertical components of your resultant. Use trig and Pythag theorem to find the magnitude and angle of your resultant.

I am reading something about adding 90 to an angle - BAD. DONT DO THIS. If you get a negative that's a-ok. Vectors are a magnitude and direction (think of despicable me); sign typically indicates direction.
