In vector algebra, if you have two vectors, x and y which are not collinear, and x + y is the vector resulting from the two acting together then the magnitude and direction of x+y is given by the diagonal of the parallelogram whose adjacent sides are x and y.

If x and y are collinear then the result still hold if you consider the common line as a totally flattened parallelogram.
