THE POLYGON LAW states that if (n-1) similar vectors acting at a point in a plane can be represented both in magnitude and direction by the (n-1) consecutive sides of a n-sided polygon then the n-th side will represent the resultant vector in the reverse order.
Polygon Method Of Adding Vector1. Draw the first vector using a scale.2. Connect the tail, the 2nd vector to the arrow head to first vector. Repeat desame procedures with the other vector.3. Join the tail of the first vector to the arrow head of the last vector to determine the magnitude and direction of resultant.4. The length of resultant draw the scale determines the magnitude and the direction is the angle between the arrow head of the last vector.
The parallelogram method involves placing two vectors such that they originate from the same point, forming a parallelogram, and the resultant vector is represented by the diagonal of this shape. For the polygon method, vectors are arranged in sequence, where the tail of one vector is placed at the head of the previous vector, and the resultant vector is drawn from the start of the first vector to the end of the last vector. Both methods visually depict how vectors combine to form a resultant vector.
The tail of a vector represents the starting point or origin of the vector. It is the point from which the vector extends in a particular direction.
VECTOR
The beginning point of a vector is referred to as its origin or initial point. It is the starting position from which the vector is measured or represented by an arrow.
Then the point is not outside the polygon...?
true the distance from point A to point B on a grid = vector
The polygon method, also known as the tip-to-tail method, allows for the addition of any number of vectors. By arranging the vectors sequentially, with the tail of each vector starting at the tip of the previous one, you can create a closed shape (polygon) if the vectors sum to zero or an open shape otherwise. The resultant vector is drawn from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the last vector. Thus, there is no specific limit to the number of vectors that can be added using this method.
The difference is the length of the vector.
If the vectors form a polygon, their sum is zero..
The word 'vector' is from Latin, and means 'to carry'.
