SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating vector resultants using the Pythagorean theorem. User 02drai confirms that the calculation for vector C is correct, yielding a value of 10, derived from the equation C = √(7.072 + 7.072). The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the methodology behind vector calculations, particularly for vectors B and D, to ensure a comprehensive grasp of the topic.

Hi 02drai 
Before we deal with D, I'm worried about your answers for C and B …
C = √(7.072 + 7.072) = √(50 + 50) = 10 …
yes 10 is correct, but how did you get it?
And can you please also say how you got B (yes, it's right too), since if you got it the right way, you should know how to get D.

What i did was to find resultant from AB was just pythagoras. I have got answer and i tried to put logical equation. However, why i get idea that the resultant should be same for all point since they are all relative to eaxh other.
