As we learned

 From  the triangle law of vector addition,

 \left | \vec{A}+\vec{B} \right |=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2AB\cos \theta }

                   =\sqrt{A^2+A^2+2A^2\cos \theta }   \left | \vec A +\vec B\right |^2=\left | \vec A \right |^2=2A^2+2A^2cos \theta

\\ \Rightarrow \cos{\theta}=-\frac{1}{2} \\ \therefore \theta=120\degree
