Exercise 17 Page 688

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

Practice makes perfect

We are given the vectors j and k.

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

Now, we will draw the resultant vector from the tail of j to the tip of - k.
