The 225-n force is exerted on the crate towards the north and the 165-n is exerted toward the east what's the magnitude and direction of the net force

≅279.02 N, 36° 15' from North to East

Explanation:

You can the theory of triangle of forces to find the answer.

Two forces are acting perpendicular to each other so use Pythagoras theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant  force(x).

x² = 225² + 165²

x = 279.02 N

To find the direction use the same force triangle,
