Adding vectors!

To add vectors one must follow some simple rules in order to get the answer:

1. We should always set our positive directions before starting to work on the question ( N and E)
2. To make your solution more organized, create a table for x and y components of the vectors
3. Do not forget to add the positive and negative signs. This helps in calculating the total result.
4. After putting all the values for x and y, calculate the total resultant for both the components (x and y)
5. Now you can use the resultants (x and y) to find the hypotenus of the vector and its angle by using Pythagora Theorem
6. Do not forget to write the correct units and to round off the number to the correct number of significant figures
7. Do not forget to write the directions with your final answer (North or South and East or West)

Pythagoran Theorem:
