In the given figure, the magnitude of vectors OA, OB and OC are equal. Let it be m.

From figure, we can write

Question Image

OA=m cos 30° i^+sin 30° j^=m 32i^+12j^

OB=m cos 60° i^-sin 60° j^=m 12i^-32j^

OC=m cos 45° -i^+sin 45° j^=m -12i^+12j^

According to the question,

OA+OB-OC=m 32i^+12j^+m 12i^-32j^-m -12i^+12j^

=m i^ 32+12+12+m j^ 12-32-12

 Angle with X-axis is given by

        tan θ=yx=m123212m32+12+12    tan θ=12322232+12+22     tan θ=1323+1+2      θ=tan1 13-21+3+2
