Final Angle from a list of 3 vectors

Hallo there,
I would like to ask if anyone can help me with the following: ( this is my first enquiry) I have a list of 3 vectors x,y,z. How can I get the final angle of the combined vectors x,y,z. In other word, I need the resulting angle from a list of 3 vectors, x y z of which each has it is own magnitude.

 

Thanks in advance,

    Is x,y,z the "name" of the 3 vectors for the purpose of explanation or are they the components in the x direction, y direction and z direction? 

    What are you measuring it against?

    Below you will see I've used [Mass Addition] to add all my vectors together and then the [Angle] to measure it against the X axis. note the result has been converted from radians to degrees.

    Or

    I've use [Vector XYZ] to compose my vector first.

     

    Note also its best to post questions like this in the Discussion Forum. your more likely to get a quick response there. Also you cannot edit these comments where as a reply you've got 15 minutes to correct mistakes or add material.
