I am going to calculate the end point for the green vector (its coordinates)

Picture of vectors

I know the magnitudes of both as well as the angles between them. I also know that, in general, to find the x coordinate of a given vector, you just take magnitude * cos(angle) and magnitude * sin(angle) for the y coordinate.

The angle alpha is pi/3 and the angle beta is pi/4. The length of the red vector is 60cm while the green has a length of 40cm

However, how can I calculate the end point of the green vector while preserving the fact that the green vector is pointing away from the end point of the red vector?

Solved it by just simply setting the angle for the green vector as $\alpha$+$\beta$
