Addition of vectors
● Triangle law of vector addition
● Parallelogram law of vector addition
● Polygon law of vector addition
Addition of vectors - Triangle law
When head of one of the vectors (A) is placed over tail of the other vector (B),
Then on joining the remaining tail to head a Triangle is formed.
And the final side of this triangle represents the resultant of the two vectors.

Addition of vector (parallelogram law)
When Tails of both the vectors (A and B) are placed together and they are
redrawn parallelly, such that they form a Parallelogram, then the Diagonal,
which also originates from the same point represents the Resultant of the two
vectors.
