Any vector could be resolved into perpendicular components one along x axis and the other along y axis.
So all vectors would be split into two components. Now we can easily add the x components and y components. If all in the same simply addition. If some are in opposite we have to change its sign and add them.
Finally we will have only two one along x and another along y. Now we can get the effective by using Pythagoras.
You can use the graphical method, which involves drawing vectors on a coordinate system and adding them tip-to-tail to find the resultant vector. Alternatively, you can use the component method, breaking each vector into its horizontal and vertical components and adding them separately to find the resultant vector.
The component method of adding vectors involves breaking down each vector into its horizontal and vertical components. Then, add the horizontal components together to get the resultant horizontal component, and add the vertical components together to get the resultant vertical component. Finally, combine these two resultant components to find the resultant vector.
The component method is the concept that you can resolve vectors into two independent (therefore perpendicular) vectors (say, in the x and y directions). And, you can "put a vector back together" simply, using the distance formula and the slope of the line. So, the component form and the direction/magnitude forms are just two different ways of specifying a vector.
No, a vector's component cannot be greater than the vector's magnitude. The magnitude represents the maximum possible magnitude of a component in any direction.

When drawing a vector using the triangle method you will draw in the resultant vector using Pythagorean theorem. This is taught in physics.
When solving vector addition problems, you can use either the graphical method or the analytical method in geometry. The analytical method involves using mathematical calculations, such as component breakdown and the Pythagorean theorem, to determine the resultant vector. This method often utilizes trigonometric functions to resolve vectors into their horizontal and vertical components. Both methods yield the same result but may be preferred in different contexts based on the complexity of the vectors involved.

The component method of adding vectors involves breaking down each vector into its horizontal and vertical components. Then, add the horizontal components together to get the resultant horizontal component, and add the vertical components together to get the resultant vertical component. Finally, combine these two resultant components to find the resultant vector.
resultant vector is a vector which will have the same effect as the sum of all the component vectors taken together.
no a vector cannot have a component greater than the magnitude of vector
If any component of a vector is not zero, then the vector is not zero.
