Vector addition is a fundamental operation in vector algebra that combines two or more vectors to produce a resultant vector. It follows the triangle or parallelogram law, ensuring that the resultant vector maintains both magnitude and direction based on the components of the original vectors.

Vector algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with quantities that have both magnitude and direction, allowing for the manipulation and analysis of vectors in various dimensions. It is fundamental in physics and engineering for describing physical quantities like force, velocity, and displacement, and provides tools for vector addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and dot and cross products.

A resultant vector is the single vector that has the same effect as the combined action of two or more vectors. It is found by vector addition, which involves summing the components of the vectors being combined.

Magnitude refers to the size or extent of a quantity, often used to express the absolute value or intensity of a measurement, such as in physics, mathematics, and seismology. It provides a scale or level of comparison, allowing for the assessment and ranking of different phenomena or quantities in a meaningful way.

Direction is a fundamental concept that refers to the line or path along which something moves, points, or faces. It is an essential aspect in fields such as navigation, physics, and mathematics, where it helps determine orientation and movement in space.
