Further examples

 

Example 1

There are three vectors making this triangle A,B and C 

This triangle is made up of three vectors:

`a`,  `b`  and `c`

 

Example 2

This triangle also contains three vectors but is represented differently to the one above 

This triangle is made up of three vectors:

`vec (AB)`, `vec (BC)`  and `vec (CA)`

 

Example 3

This triangle is also represented differently but showing values in columns 

This triangle is made up of three vectors:

`((2),(3))`  and `((2),(-3))`  and `((-3),(0))`
