1.2: Adding and Subtracting Vectors

Adding Vectors - Draw the first Vector. Draw the second Vector with the tail of the second on the head of the first Vector. A third Vector connecting the tail of the first and head of the second is the sum total of both Vectors.

Adding Vectors

Subtracting Vectors - Draw the first Vector. Draw the second Vector with the head of the second on the head of the first Vector. A third Vector connecting the two tails is the difference between the two. (Note: There are two possible ways to draw the third Vector - depending on which Vector is subtracting from the other.)
