- The diagram illustrates vector subtraction using the triangle method.
- Vector A and vector B are shown as two sides of a triangle, with vector C being the resultant vector that closes the triangle.
- The equation B = C - A is given, which rearranges to C = A + B, confirming that C is the vector sum of A and B.
- This follows the head-to-tail rule: placing the tail of B at the head of A results in C pointing from the tail of A to the head of B.
- Therefore, the relationship shown is consistent with vector addition, where C is the resultant of A and B.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of adding and subtracting vectors graphically.
