Solution
To solve the problem where you must position points A and B so that the vector AB equals the sum of vectors u (in blue) and v (in red), follow these steps:
-
Understand the vector addition:
The goal is to place the green vector AB such that it visually represents:
The vector sum combines the directions and magnitudes of u and v. -
Align vectors u and v:
- Start at a point (for instance, A).
- Use u (blue vector) first, then place v (red vector) starting at the tip of u.
- The resulting vector from the start of u to the tip of v is the sum .
-
Position points A and B:
- Place A at a fixed starting position (where you want to begin).
- Use the grid to determine the endpoint B after visually adding u and v.
Breakdown:
- Start at A.
- Follow the direction and length of u.
- From the tip of u, move in the direction and length of v.
- The endpoint gives you the correct position for B.
