Question

two forces of 5N and 12N respectively act on the same point.show how you would determine the magnitude of the resultant by using the tail to head and tail to tail methods and Pythagoras theorem

Answer 1

use the lengths as the legs of a right triangle.

But, if the are not acting perpendicularly, you're out of luck.

Answer 2

Two forces of 5 n and 12 n respectively act on the same point. Show how you would determine the magnitude of the resultant by using the tail - to - head and tail to tail methods and Pythagoras theorem (13 N)
