• Vectors/Addition/Explain It/Tip-To-Tail
• Vectors/Addition/Explain It/Parallelogram

The applet on the left will let you

• draw two vectors,
• find their sum graphically, either by the tip-to-tail method or the parallelogram method,
• and compare the resultant as drawn by you to the correct resultant.

Details on how to use the applet and a lesson on vector addition, including related calculations, are available from the Help menu of the applet.
