Question
**Vector Addition using the Triangle or Parallelogram Rule**

In the image, two vectors are represented on a grid, shown as blue arrows starting from the same point.

The task is to add these vectors using either the triangle rule or the parallelogram rule.

**Triangle Rule:**
- Place the tail of the second vector at the head of the first vector.
- The resultant vector is drawn from the tail of the first vector to the head of the second vector.

**Parallelogram Rule:**
- Place the vectors such that they start from the same point.
- Complete the parallelogram using these vectors as adjacent sides.
- The resultant vector is drawn from the common starting point to the opposite corner of the parallelogram.

By applying either of these methods, you can determine the resultant vector that represents the sum of the two given vectors.
