Object A is moving due east, while object B is moving due north. They collide and stick

Question:

Object A is moving due east, while object B is moving due north. They collide and stick together in a completely inelastic collision. Momentum is conserved. Object A has a mass of mA = 17.0 kg and an initial velocity of v(vector)OA = 8.00 m/s, due east. Object B, however, has a mass of mB = 29.0 kg and an initial velocity of v(vector)OB = 5.00 m/s, due north. Find the magnitude and direction of the total momentum of the two-object system after the collision.
