9 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Graphical Addition of Vectors List given information Set an appropriate scale (i.e. 1cm = 25 km) Draw first vector to scale to establish frame of reference Draw subsequent vectors with the tail starting at the tip of the previous  Be sure to retain proper direction of each vector Resultant is drawn from the tail of the first to the tip of the last  Measure resultant and calculate its magnitude using the scale.  Measure the angle of the resultant and use it to specify direction
