Physics

A runner jogs for 150 m due west (displacement A) and then turnsto a direction 30.0 degrees east of south and jogs for another 100m (displacement B). Showing all work and units, and putting boxesaround your answers, calculate

(a) the total distance between her initial and final positions.(Answer: 132 m)

(b) the direction of her net displacement C as an angle θC southof west. (Answer: 41°)

I am not really sure how to start this. Could someone pleasehelp with a STEPBY STEP explanation? I know you need to find the xand y components of A and B and then square both of those and takethe square root to find C, but how would I go about doing that?
