| P | = | Q | = x

let the angle between P a n d Q  is , so according to question, we can write 

| P + Q | = n × | P Q | P 2 + Q 2 + 2 P Q c o s θ = n × P 2 + Q 2 2 P Q c o s θ

x 2 + x 2 + 2 x 2 c o s θ = n × x 2 + x 2 2 x 2 c o s θ

θ = c o s 1 ( n 2 1 n 2 + 1 )

Graphically, we place vectors head-to-tail. Analytically, we add components along axes using coordinate geometry, trigonometric functions, and unit vectors for precise vector resultant calculation.

It resolves vectors into components, adds corresponding x and y values algebraically, then reconstructs the resultant using magnitude and direction. That is, applying vector addition rules.
