Calculating Peak-to-Peak Amplitude of Out-of-Phase Sine Waves

Two sine waves have equal peak to peak amplitudes 81 but are out of phase by 90 degrees. What is the peak to peak amplitude of the resultant wave.


I have no idea how to start this question, could someone give me guidance?

The points on the graph where these functions intersect are where the resultant will have its maximum (and minimum) amplitudes.
