Explanation / Answer
For vector A
The x component is 9(cos 65) = -3.80 N (Negative due to direction)
For vector B
The x component is (5.2)(cos 54.1) = -3.05 N (Negative due to direction)
The net x = -6.85 N
For vector A
The y component is (9)(sin 65) = 8.16 N
For vecotr B
The y component is (5.2)(sin 54.1) = -4.21 N (Negative due to direction)
The net y = 3.95 N
The magnitude of the resultant is found using the pythagorean theroem
resultant^2 = (6.85)^2 + (3.95)^2
resultant = 7.91 N
