All the three vectors in the problem are as shown in the following figure.
Let be the resultant vector.
Then
You can solve the problem in two ways.
Method 1:
Resolve and into their perpendicular components along X and Y axes. Perform the addition or subtractions of these perpendicular components as follows.
I think you know how to resolve a vector.
See for example, resolving vector A into its components along X & Y axes.
The X-component of vector A is denoted by Ax and
Y-component by Ay.
These components are
Ax = A cos 600 along +ve direction of X-axis.
Ay = A sin 600 along +ve direction of X-axis.
Similarly resolve vector B into its ...
