Basic vector problem

[echo marsh]

I know how to do this, but was wondering if there was a more efficient way

Currently, the way I'd do this is translate each vector into it's components, add them, and then translate them back into direction/magitude

Is there a more efficient/simplified way of doing this? I just feel as there has to be a better way to do questions like this but I could be wrong

[echo marsh]

A way that doesn't require knowledge too far ahead of learning basic vector stuff

notice that v and w are perpendicular

so.. resultant of vectors R=$\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQ\cos\theta}$

theta is 90 so cos theta is 0

r=sqrt(v^2+w^2)
