Question about Finding total vector graphically

[mxh91]

Homework Statement

The vector A has a magnitude of 5 mph and points along the x-axis, vector B has a magnitude of 8 mph and makes an angle of 150 degrees, and vector C has a magnitude of 10 mph and an angle of 255 degrees. Find the total vector T = A + B + C graphically by tracing the arrows in your notebook and drawing the total vector.

Homework Equations

How do I find the total vector of A, B, and C graphically?

The Attempt at a Solution

On my paper, I drew Vector A, B, and C at their respective angles already.

I don't know where to draw the Total vector T. Do I connect B with A, A with C, and C with B to form a triangle?

You drew it wrong.

Attach the tail of vector B to the head (literally the arrowhead) of vector A; and then the tail of vector C to the head of vector B. Draw the restultant vector from the origin to the head of vector C.
