Assuming your talking about simple math of vectors, each vector is made up of components in different directions and magnitudes.
Vector=V=ui+vj+wk
Where i is the unit vector in the x direction, v is in the y direction, and k is in the z direction. u,v,w are the components each of these directions.
If North is in the y direction and East is in the x direction, then a person traveling at 50 mi/h in the Northeast direction would have a Velocity in both i and j direction
V=ui+vj
Where 50mi/h=25*sqrt(25)i+25*sqrt(25)j
V=sqrt{[25*sqrt(25)i]^2+[25*sqrt(25)j]^2}=50
All of this said, you simply add the components of the two vectors together, i's plus i's and j's plus j's.

Is resultant a vector quantity?
The resultant of two vectors cannot be a scalar quantity.
Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant can three vectors?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
Can two vectors of different magnitudes give a zero resultant?
No.
Ten vectors together add to give a zero resultant it is possible that nine of these vectors are on the same plane but the tenth is not on this plane?
No. The tenth vector would have to be matched by one equal and opposite vector to yield a zero resultant, or by multiple vectors in the second plain collectively yielding a zero resultant for that plane. It would be possible, for example, for 8 vectors to be on the same plane and two on a different plane to give a zero resultant.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude.What is the direction of this resultant?
Thee direction of the two vectors.
Is resultant a vector quantity?
The resultant of two vectors cannot be a scalar quantity.
A student adds two perpendicular displacement vectors of magnitude 12 cm and 22 cmWhat is the magnitude of the resultant displacement of these two vectors?
Hence, By Pythagoras therom the resultant vector = ( 222 + 122)1/2 = 25.059cm Direction from 22cm vector = arcsin ( 12/25.059 ) = 28.6160c
Is it possible to add two vectors having different magnitudes and yield zero resultant?
It is certain that two vectors of different magnitudes cannot yield a zero resultant force.
Can three vectors of different magnitude be combined to give a zero resultant and can three vectors?
Yes.
Can two vectors having different magnitudes be combined to give a zero resultant can three vectors?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
Can two vectors of different magnitudes give a zero resultant?
No.
How is a resolution of a vector different from the resultant of vectors?
When you resolve a vector, you replace it with two component vectors, usually at right angles to each other. The resultant is a single vector which has the same effect as a set of vectors. In a sense, resolution and resultant are like opposites.
Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant if not can three vectors be combine?
Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
What gives you a frame of reference for speed when riding a train?
Displacement vectors of 10m west and 14m west make a resultant vector that is
Can two vectors having different magnitude be compined to give a zero resultant can three vector?
Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.
Can the resultant of two vectors of the same magnitude be equal to the magnitude of either of the vector. How?
Yes - if the vectors are at an angle of 60 degrees. In that case, the two vectors, and the resultant, form an equilateral triangle.Yes - if the vectors are at an angle of 60 degrees.
