How do you find the net force in vector addition, for example if I have F1 = 64 N @ 30 degrees and F2 = 45 N @ 45 degrees and F3 = 78 N @ 330 degrees how would I go about finding the net force?

Okay so the question says "What is the net force acting on an object that has the following forces on it", so how do I find that if

F1 = 64 N @ 30 degrees
F2 = 45 N @ 45 degrees
F3 = 78 N @ 330 degrees
