I think you meant to ask for finding a perpendicular vector, rather than parallel. If that is the case, the cross product of two non-parallel vectors will produce a vector which is perpendicular to both of them, unless they are parallel, which the cross product = 0. (a zero vector)

How do you find vector components when given the vectors are parallel and the magnitude of each vector is equal to 1?
If they are parallel, you can add them algebraically to get a resultant vector. Then you can resolve the resultant vector to obtain the vector components.
How to find orthogonal vector?
Given one vector a, any vector that satisfies a.b=0 is orthogonal to it. That is a set of vectors defining a plane orthogonal to the original vector.The set of vectors defines a plane to which the original vector a is the 'normal'.
How do you find a vector if you have itsmagnitude and its direction given?
That's it! You know everything there is to know about it. It's not as if you have to wander through a crowd of vectors and find one that matches the description. "Find the vector" means figure out its magnitude and direction. If the problem already gave you the magnitude and direction, then it's unlikely that it's asking you to 'find' that same vector.
How do you do cross products?
You need to know that the cross product of two vectors is a vector perpendicular to both vectors. It is defined only in 3 space. The formula to find the cross product of vector a (vector a=[a1,a2,a3]) and vector b (vector b=[b1,b2,b3]) is: vector a x vector b = [a2b3-a3b2,a3b1-a1b3,a1b2-a2b1]
If the sum of the two unit vectors is also a unit vector find the magnitude of their difference?

What is cross in science?
One type of cross is the cross or vector product of a pair of 3D vectors. If there are two unit vectors that are not parallel, their vector product is a vector that is normal to the plane containing the two vectors, so it's a good way to find that plane. In biological science, cross signifies the mating of two genotypes to produce its progeny. It may be among homozygous or heterozygous parents.

How do you find the area of a parallelogram using 2 vectors?
Given two vectors a and b, the area of a parallelogram formed by these vectors is:a x b = a*b * sin(theta) where theta is the angle between a and b, and where x is the norm/length/magnitude of vector x.
How do you find the component of a vector perpendicular to another vector?
The component of a vector x perpendicular to the vector y is x*y*sin(A) where A is the angle between the two vectors.
Is it possible to find the sum of two parallel vectors using the parallelogram method?
No, it is simpler than that. Simply add the two magnitudes. The direction will be the same as the parallel vectors.

What are the methods of adding and subtracting vector quantities?
adding vectorsTo add two vectors, s+z, simply move the vector z to the end of the vector s.subtracting vectorsTo find the magnitude and direction of the difference between two vectors, s-z, simply draw a vector from z to s
