One boat pulls a barge with a force of 100 newtons. Another boat pulls the barge at an angle of 45° to the first force, with a force of 200 newtons. Find the resultant force acting on the barge, to the nearest unit, and the angle between the resultant and the first boat, to the nearest tenth.

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of a vector: A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
Consider the nature of temperature: Temperature is a scalar quantity, which means it only has magnitude and no direction.
Compare temperature with a vector: Since temperature lacks a directional component, it does not meet the criteria to be considered a vector.
Evaluate the statement: Based on the definitions, determine whether the statement 'Temperature is a vector' is true or false.
Conclude that the statement is false because temperature is a scalar quantity, not a vector.
