How to add vectors graphically?
A
put them in line
B
put them tail to tail
C
put them tip to tip
D
put them tip to tail
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Summary. The graphical method of adding vectorsA andB involves drawing vectors on a graph and adding them using the head-to-tail method. The resultant vectorR is defined such thatA+B=R. The magnitude and direction ofR are then determined with a ruler and protractor, respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is the formula for the addition of vectors: Given two vectors a = (a1, a2) and b = (b1, b2), then the vector sum is, M = (a1 + b1, a2 + b2) = (Mx, My). In this case, magnitude of the resultant vector sum M = |M| = √ ((Mx)2+(My)2) and. the angle can be computed as = tan-1 (My/ Mx)

Detailed explanation-3: -Vectors can be represented graphically as arrows. The length of the arrow indicates the magnitude of the vector. The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of the vector.
