GARDENING Anne and Henry are lifting a stone statue and moving it to a new location in their garden. Anne is pushing the statue with a force of 120 newtons at a 60° angle with the horizontal while Henry is pulling the statue with a force of 180 newtons at a 40° angle with the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the combined force they exert on the statue? Round to the nearest hundredth.
