12. The Pythagorean theorem is a useful method for determining the result of adding two (and only two) vectors that make a right angle to each other.

13. x y The parallelogram method of vector resolution involves using an accurately drawn, scaled vector diagram to determine the components of the vector.

14. x y The trigonometric method of vector resolution involves using trigonometric functions to determine the components of the vector.
