Vector Question?

Consider two vectors with the following coordinates (x, y, z):


C= (1.2, -5.6, 2.7)*m


D= (-1.2, 5.6, -2.7)*m


What is the length of the following vector?


C+D

Vector Question?
if you are adding vectors, you break them up into their x,y, and z components and simply add like normal numbers. since these are already in the x,y, and z-component forms... just add ;)





1.2 + (-1.2) = 0


-5.6+5.6 = 0


2.7 + (-2.7) = 0





so you get C+D = (0,0,0)*m or the zero vector.
