(b) Triangular law of vector addition states that if two vectors can be represented both in
magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle taken in order then their resultant is
given by the third side of the triangle taken in opposite order.
Proof
in ∆ ADC
( AC ) 2 = ( AD ) 2 + ( DC ) 2
( AC ) 2 = ( AB + BD )2 + ( DC )2
( AC )2 = ( AB)2 + ( BD) 2 + 2( AB)( BD) + ( DC )2
( AC )2 = ( P 2 ) + (Q cos θ )2 + 2( P)(Q cos θ ) + (Q sin θ )2
