Exercise 4 Page 687

To use the Triangle Method, begin by drawing - z and translating it so that it touches the tip of y.

Practice makes perfect

We are given the vectors y and z.

We want to find the difference y-z. To do so we can use the Triangle Method. First, we will draw - z and translate it so that it touches the tip of y.

Now, we will draw the resultant vector from the tail of y to the tip of - z.
