If two vectors are represented both in magnitude and direction by the two adjacent sides of a triangle taken in an order, then their resultant is given by the third side taken in the reverse order.

Resultant vector :

R = sqrt of A^2 + B^2 + 2ABcosθ

given :

A = 200 units

B = 300 units

θ = 30 degrees

∴ R = sqrt of 200^2 + 300^2 + 2(200)(300)cos35

the answer is 477.805656
