Adding Vectors Geometrically Two vectors a and
be added geometrically by drawing them to a common scale
and placing them head to tail. The vector connecting the tail
of the first to the head of the second is the vector sum s. To
subtract b from a, reverse the direction of b to get – b ; then
add – b to á. Vector addition is commutative
