Identify the given vectors \( \vec{u} \) and \( \vec{v} \) on the grid. Note their directions and magnitudes.
To find the resultant vector \( \vec{u} + \vec{v} \), use the 'tip-to-tail' method. Place the tail of \( \vec{v} \) at the tip of \( \vec{u} \).
Draw the resultant vector \( \vec{u} + \vec{v} \) from the tail of \( \vec{u} \) to the tip of \( \vec{v} \).
Ensure the resultant vector is correctly labeled as \( \vec{u} + \vec{v} \) and check that it forms a closed triangle with the original vectors.
Verify the direction and length of the resultant vector by comparing it with the grid lines and the original vectors.
