Vector Addition

We started vector addition today. These are the steps for the triangle method:

1-Starting from some origin, create a vector(to scale), that has the tail on that origin

2-From the head of the original vector(v1), square it(make another origin) for measurment.

3-Create V2, V3, V4, etc... and "square up" each vector head for measurment.

4-Create the resultant vector from the origin(starting point) to the head of the last "added" vector.

*Resultant vector is a vector from the tail of the original vector(origin), to the head of the last added vector*

We did an example on Euklid, and to "square up", in the construct tab there is a "parallel" button. Click that, then click the point you want to square up(the head of the last vector), then the X or Y axis to make it parallel.
