Single vector with same effect as multiple vectors combined

Graphical methods and algebraic methods

Drawing vectors to scale and using measurements

Fundamental technique for adding vectors graphically

From first tail to last head

Mathematical calculations instead of scale drawings

$R = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}$

$\tan α = \frac{R_y}{R_x}$

Choose +ve direction, assign signs, add algebraically
