To prove that when the sides of a triangle are taken in order, it leads to a zero resultant, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Draw a Triangle Let's consider a triangle \( ABC \). We will represent the sides of the triangle as vectors. ### Step 2: Define the Vectors Let: - \( \vec{AB} \) be represented by vector \( \vec{A} \) ...
