12 meters long, 5 meters wide. Diagonal = 13 meters. Solve and prove with Pythagorean therum : 12 squared (144) + 5 squared (25) = 13 squared (169).
If you mean "What method is used to make a resultant vector into its components?" then the answer is called "resolution" and you can google it for details. If you mean "What method is used to detirmine a resultant vector?" well that one doesn't have a name as far as I know. Basically, you set up a visual representation of the forces and use trigonometry to find the length and direction of the resultant. Now, to find the resultant, you would draw a diagonal line. You can then make a triangle where one side has a length of 6 and the other 8. Because these two sides are at a 90 degree angle, you can use the pythagorean therum (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) to find the diagonal line which is the resultant vector. Hope this helps :) -Angelic Endeavor Minor Edit By Me: I had trouble formatting the pictures, I hope it works this time. Edit 2 By Me: I can't get the visual aid to work so you'll have to use your imagination, sorry. :(
