So in case anyone was wondering what a parallelogram is, it is a shape that includes four angles. the angles horizontal to each other, are considered supplementary angles. The sum of the two equal 180 degrees, as goes for angles A and B or D and C. lines in the shape are parallel as in AB and DC or DA and CB. now that we got that covered we can learn how to use this method. You'll know to use this method when a single angle is given saying that a certain vectors things angle to another vector. A big give away is that the question will have exactly two vectors. anyways the first step is to draw V1 from the origin(tail at the origin). next THE SAME is done with V2(make sure the angle is between the vectors).
After create two lines congruent, parallel all that good stuff to the original vectors(hopefully doing this will get you your parallelogram). The fourth and final step is to find our resultant vector. It is made by making a line segment starting form the origin to where the two new lines meet. Measure its magnitude and direction(get your direction from the origin).Remember the vectors will act at the same time if it is a parallelogram question.
