Exercise 40 Page 706

To use the Triangle Method, begin by translating b so that it touches the tip of a.

Practice makes perfect

We are given the vectors a and b.

We want to find the sum a+b. To do so we can use the Triangle Method. First, we will translate b so that it touches the tip of a.

Now, we will draw the resultant vector from the tail of a to the tip of b.
