Why can't we add or subtract vectors like scalars?
Because scalars do not take in the direction but just the magnitude while vectors can. You can add vectors ONLY if they are in the same direction.
How do you add two vectors that aren't parallel or perpendicular?
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)AnswerResolve both of the planes displacement vectors into x and y components and then add the components

What are the applications of Parallelogram law of vectors?
The law is used to add vectors to find the resultant of two or more vectors acting at a point.
How do you get the resultant of two or more vectors?
You can add the vectors graphically - join them head-to-tail. Or you can solve them algebraically: you can separate them into components, and add the components.
