Give a condition that three vectors and form the three sides of a triangle. What are the other possibilities?


Given that, and are three sides of a triangle.



Hence from the above figure we get,


AB = , BC = and AC =


So


[since]


[Since CA = - AC]


Triangle law says that, if vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle is same order, then their sum is represented by the third side took in reverse order. Thus,
