To add vectors, lay the first one on a set of axes with its tail at the origin. Place the next vector with its tail at the previous vector's head. When there are no more vectors, draw a straight line from the origin to the head of the last vector. This line is the sum of the vectors.

When adding vectors where do you place them?

To add two vectors, you place them head to tail and then find the length and magnitude of the result. The order in which you add the two vectors doesn't matter.

What is the easiest way to add vectors?

To add two vectors, we simply add their components.

In other words, add the x component of the first vector to the x component of the second and so on for y and z. The answers you get from adding the x, y, and z components of your original vectors are the x, y, and z components of your new vector.
