<h2>Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.</h2>

Explanation:

Forces are 100 pound and 150 pound and angles with x axis are 20°and 60°.

That is force 1 is 100 pound with x axis at 20°

F₁ = 100 cos 20 i + 100 sin 20 j

F₁ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j

That is force 2 is 150 pound with x axis at 60°

F₂ = 150 cos 60 i + 150 sin 60 j

F₂ = 75 i + 129.90 j

F₁ + F₂ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j + 75 i + 129.90 j

F₁ + F₂ = 168.97 i + 164.10 j

$\texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{168.97^2+164.10^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude = }235.54pounds\\\\\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{164.10}{168.97}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }44.16^0$

Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.
