	$\vec{R} = {\vec{R}}_{1} + {\vec{R}}_{2}$ $\vec{R} . \vec{R} = ({\vec{R}}_{1} + {\vec{R}}_{2}) . ({\vec{R}}_{1} + {\vec{R}}_{2}) . . . . . (1)$ $[n o w \vec{A} . \vec{B} =∣ \vec{A} ∣∣ \vec{B} ∣ c o s α = a b c o s α$ $∣ \vec{A} ∣= a ∣ \vec{B} ∣= b$ $w h e r e α i s a n g l e b e t w e e n \vec{A} a n d \vec{B}$ $a g a i n \vec{P} . \vec{P} =∣ \vec{P} ∣∣ \vec{P} ∣ c o s 0^{o} =∣ \vec{P} ∣^{2} = p^{2}]$ $s o f r o m 1 w e g e t$ $\vec{R} . \vec{R} = {\vec{R}}_{1} . {\vec{R}}_{1} + 2 {\vec{R}}_{1} . {\vec{R}}_{2} + {\vec{R}}_{2} . {\vec{R}}_{2}$ $R^{2} = R_{1}^{2} + R_{2}^{2} + 2 R_{1} R_{2} c o s θ$ $R = \sqrt{R_{1}^{2} + R_{2}^{2} + 2 R_{1} R_{2} c o s θ}$ $w h e r e ∣ \vec{R} ∣= R ∣ {\vec{R}}_{1} ∣= R_{1} ∣ {\vec{R}}_{2} ∣= R_{2}$
