Resultant vectors can be estimated by drawing parallelograms as indicated below.
The method can also be used with more than two vectors as indicated below.
In the example above - first find the resultant F(1,2) by adding F1 and F2, and the resultant F(3,4) by adding F3 and F4. The find the resultant F(1,2.3,4) by adding F(1,2) and F(3,4).
