Hello there,

i don't see how we can help you in this one, for me the answers are obvious but anyway : when two vectors are in the same direction and pointing to the same way, an addition results in a third vector who's module is the sum of the previous two

when two vectors are not in the same direction, the result is the diagonal of the half parallelogram they form
