Homework Statement
[/B]
Given the following vector components of vectors C and D:
Cx = 8.10, Cy = -5.40, Cz = -7.90, Dx = 4.40, Dy = -2.50, Dz = 4.50,
find the x, y, z components of their sum.
Homework Equations
No relevant equations that I know of...[/B]
The Attempt at a Solution
I am lost completely. I do understand using (x,y) components, as well as use of the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles, etc...
The z component is throwing me off completely. Do I use the (-) as an indication of direction? Does Z represent a hypotenuse?
Im so confused.
