What must you do to non-perpendicular vectors before you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the resultant of the vectors?

You must find the x and y components of each vector. Then you add up the like x components and the like y components. Using your total x component and total y component you may then apply the pythagorean theorem.

How to find resultant force?
To find the resultant force you need to find both the x and y component of the resultant force. Once you have that, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant force.
How do you calculate area like diff shapes?
Cut them into triangles and use the pythagorean theorem
How tall does a building have to be to cast a 64 foot shadow?
Use the pythagorean theorem to calculate it.
How do you use the Pythagorean theorem without a graph?
If you drive 9 miles north from your house, then turn and drive 12 miles east, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate that you wind up 15 miles from home. You don't need a graph at all to do that. You just have to know the Pythagorean theorem.
What is the standard form of the pythagorean theorem?
the standard form of the Pythagorean Theorem is :a2 + b2 = c2
If vx 3 meterssecond and vy 4 meterssecond what is the magnitude of the resultant velocity?
You can calculate that with the Pythagorean theorem.
How to find resultant force?
To find the resultant force you need to find both the x and y component of the resultant force. Once you have that, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant force.
Why do non-perpendicular vectors need to be resolved into components before you can add the vectors together?
Nonperpendicular vectors need to be resolved into components because the Pythagorean theorem and the tangent function can be applied only to right triangles.
