Vector addition tail to tip method Algorithm:

It’s important that you take into account that in a vector addition you have to respect the
antecedent and the consequent, for example on the operation A/B, the antecedent it’s A and the
consequent it’s B, changing the order would change the result of the operation, in vector we are
going to deal with this kind of situations so be carefully to respect the antecedent and the
consequent.

Imagine that you must add the vectors A and B to add them graphically you must do the following:

1. Create a coordinated plane.

2. Locate the tail of A on the origin and draw it

3. Locate the tail of B on the tip of A and draw it, if you want you could draw a new
coordinated plane on the tip of A to have certain reference if the vector B has an angle

A B

4. Joint the tail of A with the tip of B

A B

R=A+B

5. Measure the length of that resulting vector and that would be the magnitude of the
operation A+B
