Grade 11 Vectors CCSS: HSN-VM.B.4, HSN-VM.B.4b

$||vec{n}|| = 2||vec{m}||$ , the direction of

$vec{n}$ is 40°, and the direction of

$vec{m}$ is 160°, in which quadrant does the sum of these vectors lie, and why?

Quadrant I, since the resulting direction of the sum of the vectors is 70°.
Quadrant I, since the resulting direction of the sum of the vectors is 30°.
Quadrant II, since $vec{m}$ is much farther from the positive x-axis than $vec{n}$ (even though $||vec{m}|| < ||vec{n}||$ ).
Along the positive y-axis (so not in any quadrant), since the direction of the sum of the vectors is 90°.
