Numerical and graphical Vector addition

In the space below you are to graphically add vectors A and B and determine the result in units. Draw a vector C so that C=A+B. Remember, it is only the magnitude and direction of the vectors that really matters, not their starting positions, though certain starting positions will make your task easier than others.

Using the graph to the left fill in the chart below with the X and Y components of the vectors A, B, C. Each grid mark is one unit.
