Four vectors, each of magnitude 62 m, lie along the sides of a parallelogram as shown in the figure. The angle between vector A and B is 49 degrees.
What is the magnitude of the vector sum of the four vectors? Answer in units of m.
So far, I have drawn the picture and made out with a parallelogram with the left side as vector A, the top vector C, the right vector D, and the bottom vector B with all of the sides congruent to each other respective to 62 m, and also the angle with between vector A and B is 49 degrees which also means that between C and D is the same while between both A and C and B and D is 131 degrees in between.
What I've been thinking was since I have to find the magnitude of the vector sum of the four vectors, wouldn't it be the same as finding the magnitude diagonal of the parallelogram? or am I off the tee here?
