Parallelogram Method

Parallelogram-a 4 sided polygon with opposite sides parallel.
We use the parallelogram method when there are situations with simultaneous vector addition, NOT stacked/chronological order.
Steps:
1)Create V1 with the tail on the origin

2)Create V2 with the tail on the origin.
3)Create 2 parallel sides to make a parallelogram
4)Create the resultant vector starting from the tail of V1 and V2(the origin) to the intersection of the parallel sides
