Solving for Resultant vector and relative Angle

How would you solve the following resultant vector R and angle θ based on the following description (its mentioned that R=A+B+C?):

Starting from central point O on the cartesian plane, going tip-to-tail

Vector A: 72.4 m, N 32° E,

Vector B: 57.3m, S 54°W

Vector C: 17.8 m, S (angle unknown, greater than 109°) W,

R: Length Unknown, heading SW back to point O

Looking to Solve for R and the angle θ it makes relative to the positive Y-axis.

I have seen this problem before and I think the given is that vector C is due South.
