Answer to Problem 46HP
Addition of two vectors in parallelogram and triangle result in the same answer and essentially are the same.
The difference is that the parallelogram method you put the both initial points together where the triangle method you start the second vector at the terminal point of the first.
Explanation of Solution
In order to draw
The resultant vector is represented by a diagonal of the resulting parallelogram:
In order to draw
Addition of two vectors in parallelogram and triangle result in the same answer and essentially are the same. The parallelogram method takes advantage of the fact that opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
The difference is that the parallelogram method you put the both initial points together where the triangle method you start the second vector at the terminal point of the first.
