Resultant of Two Vectors

### Formula:

$$R = \sqrt{A^2+B^2+2AB\cos\theta}$$

### Terminologies:

- R β†’ Resultant vector; single vector that represents the combined effect of two or more vectors.

- A β†’ Magnitude of first vector.

- B β†’ Magnitude of second vector.

- ΞΈ β†’ Angle between the two vectors.

- cosΞΈ β†’ Trigonometric ratio representing the angular relationship between vectors.

### Usage:

- Used to find the magnitude of resultant when two vectors act at an angle.
