Two or more vectors may be added together to produce their ADDITION. If two vectors have the same direction, their resultant has a magnitude equal to the sum of their magnitudes and will also have the same direction.
Similarly orientated vectors can be subtracted the same manner.
In general, since vectors may have any direction, we must use one of three methods for adding vectors. These are, the POLYGON METHOD, PARALLELOGRAM METHOD and the METHOD OF COMPONENTS.
Hope the above the explanation helped you.
