Vector Addition and Subtraction

Description
This is a simulation of vector addition and subtraction. Use the sliders or input boxes to change the length and direction of the blue and orange vectors. When the "addition" checkbox is selected, the black vector shows the vector sum of the blue and orange vectors [A + B]. When the "subtraction" checkbox is selected the black vector represents the vector sum of the orange vector and the negative of the blue vector [A + (-B)].
