46 squared + 23 squared = the resultant displacement squared. Pythagoras' theorem.
displacement+time divided by distance
To find the resultant force you need to find both the x and y component of the resultant force. Once you have that, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant force.
The Resultant Vector minus the other vector
5 miles minus 4 miles is 1 mile East of the starting point. Displacement is a vector quantity, so it must have magnitude and direction.
