Adding three vectors head to tail

An example figure from the Vector Diagram Generator.

On a grid, vectors A, B and C drawn head to tail, A to the right, B up and to the right, C up and to the left, with the dashed resultant R from A’s tail to C’s tip — Three vectors drawn to scale head to tail on a grid: A, 5 squares to the right; B, 4 squares at 60°; and C, 3 squares at 150°, up and to the left. The dashed resultant R runs from the first tail to the last tip.
