Question
How do you solve for Resultant given this information. I was able to do the graphical method but I am unsure how n how to use the component method.
### Vector Addition

**Given Vectors:**
- \( F_1 = 1.47 \, \text{units} \) at \( 0^\circ \)
- \( F_2 = 1.96 \, \text{units} \) at \( 90^\circ \)

**Graph Explanation:**
The provided graph is a Cartesian coordinate system with labeled axes, representing a vector addition problem.

**Vectors on the Graph:**
1. **Vector \( F_1 \) (Blue Arrow)**
   - Magnitude: 1.47 units
   - Direction: \( 0^\circ \) (positive x-axis)
   - Plotted from the origin (0,0) to the point (1.47, 0)

2. **Vector \( F_2 \) (Blue Arrow)**
   - Magnitude: 1.96 units
   - Direction: \( 90^\circ \) (positive y-axis)
   - Plotted from the origin (0,0) to the point (0, 1.96)

**Resultant Vector \( F_r \) (Black Arrow and Dotted Lines)**
- The resultant vector \( F_r \) starts from the origin and ends at the point where the two original vectors combine, forming the hypotenuse of the right triangle created by \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \).
- Magnitude: Approximately 1.9 units
- Direction: \( 45^\circ \)

**Forming the Resultant Vector:**
The resultant vector \( F_r \) can be found by placing the tail of \( F_2 \) at the head of \( F_1 \). This forms a right triangle with:
- The horizontal component as \( F_1 \)
- The vertical component as \( F_2 \)

In accordance with the Pythagorean theorem, the magnitude of \( F_r \) is calculated as:
\[ F_r = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2} \]
\[ F_r = \sqrt{1.47^2 + 1.96^2} \approx 2.45 \text{ units} \]

**Conclusion:**
The graph visually demonstrates the vector addition process, with the components \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \) and their resultant vector \( F_r \). This graphical method helps
