easy. However, you have to know from whence the angles are measured. I will assume the N axis. So my East axis is at angle 90, W is at 270. IT matters.

56@296+83@152
Notice the N component is a cosine angle function, E is a sine function.
56cos296 N + 56sin296 E+83Cos152 N+83sin152 E

if you have a -E, you can later change it to W, and the same for -N, you can change it to S.
i got an answer of 50meters at 13degrees
do i have to add anything like north of east since it did not give me a direction on the questions
