How would you add two vectors that are not perpendicular or parallel?
To add two vectors that aren't parallel or perpindicular you resolve both of the planes displacement vectors into "x' and "y" components and then add the components together. (parallelogram technique graphically)
Can you add vector like scalars or not?
No. Because vectors have direction as well as magnitude, you must take the direction into account when you add them. Example: Vector A parallel to [0,0; 0,4] Vector B parallel to [0,0; 3,0] These vectors are at right angles to each other Vector A has a magnitude of 4, Vector B an magnitude of 3. A + B = has a magnitude of 5, parallel to [0,0;3,4]
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.
Are alternate exterior angles on parallel lines ever supplementary?
Only if they add up to 180 degrees which would be the case if the parallel lines are cut through by a perpendicular line.
How do you add vectors that are perpendicular?
Vectors can be added graphically: draw one vector on paper, move the other so that its tail coincides with the head of the first. Vectors can also be added by components. Just add the corresponding components together. For example, if one vector is (10, 0) and the other is (0, 5) (those two would be perpendicular), the combined vector is (10+ 0, 0 + 5), that is, (10, 5). Such a vector can also be converted to polar coordinates, that is, a length and an angle; use the "rectangular to polar" conversion on your scientific calculator to do that.
