- For the first pair (top right box): The two vectors are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. They cancel each other out. Write "no R".
- For the second pair (middle left box): Place the tail of the downward vector at the head of the rightward vector. Draw the resultant from the tail of the first to the head of the second. It points down and to the right.
- For the third pair (middle right box): Place the tail of the upward vector at the head of the downward vector. Since they are equal and opposite, they cancel. Write "no R".
- For the fourth pair (bottom left box): Place the tail of the rightward vector at the head of the rightward vector. The resultant is a single vector pointing right with twice the length.
- For the fifth pair (bottom right box): Place the tail of the downward vector at the head of the diagonal-up-left vector. Draw the resultant from the tail of the first to the head of the second. It points down and slightly left.
