To find the phase angle of the resulting wave, we need to calculate the phase difference between the two waves. From the given waveforms, we see that they differ in phase by 1 radian (f034 - f033 = 1). Therefore, the resulting wave will have a phase angle equal to the average of the two wave's phase angles, which is (f034 + f033) / 2 = 11ea7ff9_2b92_1745_a768_f9a2d7d4f208_TB2295_00 rad.
