at what angle two forces (a+b) and (a-b) act . so that their resultant is under root( 3a square + b square)

Let the forces (a+b) and (a-b) represent two sides of parallelogram PQRS . Then resultant of two forces is diagonal PR
 
Angle β as shown in figure is calculated using the cosine rule
 
(a+b)2 + (a-b)2 + 2 (a+b) (a-b) cosβ = 3a2 + b2 
 
After simplification, above equation becomes,   2 ( a2 - b2 ) cosβ = ( a2 - b2 )    or   cosβ = (1/2)   or  β = 60° .
 
Hence angle α between two forces (a+b) and (a-b) is given as ,  α = 120°
