The second law of vector addition is triangle law, which says that if we take
and
as two vectors acting at point O as shown in figure, then the resultant of vector is get by taking
and
as adjecent sides of a triangle and the 3rd side of the triangle as the resultant, then if θ is angle between
and
then.

(i) If the magnitude of both the vector
&
is A,then the resultant will have magnitude–
