Help with physics!

Which of the following statements about vector addition are true? (Check all that apply.) Vector addition takes the direction of the vectors into account. Vector addition can always be done by adding the magnitudes of the vectors together. Vector addition ignores the vectors' directions. Vector addition can be done graphically by drawing the vectors "tip-to-tail". Vector addition can be done graphically by drawing the vectors on the edge of a parallelogram and drawing the diagonal.

Explanation / Answer

1) Vector addition takes the direction of the vectors into account.
4) Can be done graphically by drawing tip to tail method. This method is also called as Polygon method, or triangle method, where the head and tails are connected to each other , and the final resultant is given by the final side to complete the polygon.
5) Also known as Parallelogram law, where the replicas are used to form the other two sides and then, the resultant is reprecsented by the diagonal of this polygon.
