Solution.

"\\overrightarrow{C}=\\overrightarrow{B}-\\overrightarrow{A};"

"|\\overrightarrow{A}|=16.0" units;

"|\\overrightarrow{B}|=7.00" units;



From the triangle by cosine theory we find the length of the vector "\\overrightarrow{\u0421}" :

"|\\overrightarrow{C}|^2=|\\overrightarrow{A}|^2+|\\overrightarrow{B}|^2-2|\\overrightarrow{A}||\\overrightarrow{B}|cos\\phi;"

"|\\overrightarrow{C}|^2=16.0^2+7.00^2-2\\sdot16.0\\sdot7.00\\sdot cos79^o=262.19" ;

"|\\overrightarrow{C}|=16.19" units;

Answer:"|\\overrightarrow{C}|=16.19" units.
