ae=72.0891
θae=πtan1(72.08810.3893)

Explanation:

ab=40
θab=0
xab=40cos0=40
yab=40sin0=0

bc=30
θbc=π4
xbc=30cos(π4)=21.2132
ybc=40sin0=21.2132

cd=50
θcd=π3
xcd=50cos(π3)=25
ycd=50sin(π3)=43.3013

de=100
θde=5π6
xde=100cos(5π)6=86.6025
yde=100sin(5π)6=50

xae=xab+xbc+xcd+xde
=40+21.2132+2586.6025
xae=0.3893
yae=yab+ybc+ycd+yde
=021.2132+43.3013+50
yae=72.0881

ae=x2ae+y2ae
ae=72.0891
θae=tan1(yaexae)
=tan1(72.08810.3893)
θae=πtan1(72.08810.3893)
