Answer

$8$ and $\theta =315^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

$\overrightarrow{v} = -4 \sqrt 2 \ \widehat{i} +4 \sqrt 2 \ \widehat{j}$ Magnitude: $||\overrightarrow{v}|| = \sqrt {(-4 \sqrt 2)^{2} + (4 \sqrt 2)^{2}} = 8$ The direction can now be found: $\tan \ \theta = \dfrac{-4 \sqrt 2}{4 \sqrt 2} =-1 \implies \theta =315^{\circ}$
