Answer:

39 cm North east.

Explanation:

In the attached photo, R is the resultant vector.

Thus, we can obtain the magnitude of the resultant vector of the ant by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

NOTE: R is the Hypothenus ie the longest side

R² = 30² + 25²

R² = 900 + 625

R² = 1525

Take the square root of both side

R = √1525

R = 39.05 ≈ 39 cm

Thus, the magnitude of the resultant vector of the ant is approximately 39 cm north east.
