Dear Student, The problem statement is not clear.  How can you increase the angle to half of its original value?  Please verify and repost if needed.

Given R-0.732p=p , |a|=p,|b|=p R=1.732p R^2= 3p^2 2p^2(1+cosΦ)=3p^2 CosΦ=1/2 Φ=60°Now, new resulatant makes angle (Φ+1/2Φ) then 60+30=90° Ř=√2p^2(1-cos90°) Ř=√2p Ans:√2p
