Answer
$36^{\circ}$
The direction is $36^{\circ}$ north of due east.
Work Step by Step
The components of the total displacement are
$r_{x}=A_{x}+B_{x}=125+175=300$
$r_{y}=A_{y}+B_{y}=216.5+0=216.5$
The angle the resultant displacement makes with the $+x$ axis is
$\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{r_{y}}{r_{x}}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{216.5 \mathrm{m}}{300 \mathrm{m}}\right)=36^{\circ}$
The direction is $36^{\circ}$ north of due east.
