The vectors are acting along as the sides of an equilateral triangle as in first fig.
Here and
The second fig. shows how if the three vectors were concurrent. From this fig. we get,
So the resultant vector is,
Since and
The resultant vector makes the same angle with the vector A as that made with positive X axis, since A is acting along positive X axis.
Let be the angle between them, which is given by,
Since
Hence the resultant is at an angle of 150° with the vector of magnitude 1 unit.
