Given vectors A and B as follows:

The parallelogram for vector subtraction takes the following form:


Resolution of a Vector
A vector may be resolved into to components having known lines of action using the parallelogram law:
Given the vector R below:

Extend parallel lines from the head of vector R to form components in a and b axis

The resolution of vector R into vector A and vector B is as follows:
