You could use the parallelogram rule to add the vectors, or you could use the tip-to-tail method (your textbook might call it the "head to tail method" but it's the same idea).

An example of the parallelogram method is shown below with adding the vector u = (-4,4) in red to the vector v = (8,2) in blue to get the vector w = (4,6) in green. The green resultant vector is one of the diagonals of the parallelogram

Side note: The other diagonal is either u-v or v-u depending on your reference point.

Speed = distance divided by time taken. car 1 travels 10 miles every 5 minutes. car 2 travels 30 miles every 20 minutes. what is

Setler [38]

Car 1
2 miles............................1 minute
10 miles.........................5 minutes
20 miles.........................10 minutes
40 miles..........................20 minutes
car2
1.5 miles...........................1 minute
15miles.............................10 minutes
30 miles...........................20 minutes
the difference is 0.5 miles per minute

0.5*60=30 miles/hour
