If two forces P and Q acting at 0 are represented by line OA  and OB with φ being the angle between the two forces .  find their resultant in R in terms of P

By cosine rule  R^2 =P^2 +Q^2 +2PQcos ∅
$$\mathrm{By}\:\mathrm{cosine}\:\mathrm{rule} \\ $$$$\mathrm{R}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{P}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{Q}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2PQcos}\:\emptyset \\ $$
