Get average heading

I took this out for a spin:

PVector A;
PVector B;
PVector C;
float aA = 225; // change this to a number below 180 degrees
float aB = 135;

float angle = 135;
float averageHeading;
float theta;

void setup () 
  {
  size (300, 300);
  A = new PVector(0, 0);
  B = new PVector(0, 0);
  C = new PVector(0, 0);
  }

void draw() 
  {
  background(200);
  stroke(0);
  noFill();
  circle(width/2, height/2, width);
    
  theta+= TAU/360;
  
  pushMatrix();
  translate(width/2, height/2);
  
  A = PVector.fromAngle(theta);
  B = PVector.fromAngle(radians(aB));
  
  A.setMag(150);
  B.setMag(150);

  stroke(255, 0, 0);
  line(0, 0, A.x, A.y);
  line(0, 0, B.x, B.y);

  //averageHeading = A.heading() + B.heading();
  //averageHeading = averageHeading/2;
  
  //C = PVector.fromAngle(averageHeading);
  //C.setMag(150);
  
  C.set(A.add(B));
  
  stroke(255, 0, 255);
  line(0, 0, C.x, C.y);
  popMatrix();
  }

I will leave the rest with you.
