Answer:
Force is a vector quantity. Two forces, which are not parallel, are added using vector addition.
As shown in figure, if two forces F1 and F2 are perpendicular, then the resultant is obtained by law of parallelogram.
Direction and magnitude of Resultant force is obtained from the diagonal of parallelgram.
If two vetors are perpendicular, diagonal of rectangle is the resultant.
Hence if two forces are perpendicular to each other, resultant force is 
if two forces are not perpendicular, resultant force is diagonal of the parallelogram formed by two force vectors.
Hence resultant force is 
, where θ is the angle between two force vectors
, where θ is the angle between two force vectors
