Hello
lets assume
a=3i
b=4cos76i+4sin76j
so
a+b=(3+4cos76)i+4sin76
for position vector just mulitply by 60
Thanks & Regards

Solution:
The formula for finding the resultant would be given by:
\left | R \right |^{2}=\left | A \right |^{2}+\left | B \right |^{2}-2\left | A \right |\left | B \right |cos\Theta
This results into:
\left | R \right |=\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}-2\times 3\times 4\times cos\left ( 76^{\circ} \right )}
Hence the answer is 4.38 m in 1 sec.
So, in 1 min, the distance covered would be equal to 262.86 m.
