By knowing the phase angle of the three voltages, converting the voltages to the real and imaginary components and adding. Now finish your homework.

You didn't specify phase angles.

Crayons and a ruler can be used to find resulting phasor R=A+B+C graphically...

Hint: the resultant vector sum is the voltage between neutral and earth....

The previous post showed you how to do it. With a vector diagram. You should thank them.

If all three are not only equal in amplitude, but 120 degrees apart, they will sum to zero.
