The Law of Polygon of Forces states that
if a polygen representing the forces acting at point in a body is closed, the forces are in equilibrium
if forces acting on a point can be represented in magnitde and direction by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the resultant of the forces will be represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side of the polygon
if forces acting on a point can be represented of a polygon taken in order, their sides of a polygon taken in order, their resultant will be represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side of the polygon, taken in opposite order
if forces acting on a point can be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a polygon in order, the forces are in equilibrium.

Parallelogram Law of Forces states, "if two forces acting simultaneously on a particle be represented in magnitude and direction by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, their resultant may be represented in magnitude and direction by
its longer side"
its shorter side"
the diagonal of the parallelogram which does not pass through the point of intersection of the forces"
the diagonal of the parallelogram which passes through the point of intersection of the forces"
half the sum of the diagonals".
