Expressing a vector as the scaled sum of unit vectors

Question by Gazhan: Solving Vector Problems when they both start from the same origin?
I was wondering how to solve vector problems involving two vectors that start from the same point of origin? How would you draw the resultant vector? Here’s a sample problem

Vector A has a magnitude of 3.00m and direction of 30 degrees. Vector B has a magnitude of 3.00m and a direction of 90 degrees. Find Vector A + Vector B.

Which direction does the vector go in this case? Does it go in between them (like 60 degrees)?

Best answer:

Answer by Mango b.
no
vector A goes east and vecter B goes west
think of a circle
think of 30 degrees going clockwise
the direction is east which represents A
and now think of 90 degrees which represents B
