Which vector is the result of $a+b$a+b?

Loading Graph...
A Cartesian coordinate system with four vectors labeled $a$a, $b$b, $c$c, and $d$d. Each vector has an arrowhead indicating its direction. Vector $c$c is pointing directly to the right, vector $a$a is pointing up and to the right at an angle, vector $b$b is pointing down and to the right, and vector $d$d is pointing directly to the left. These vectors are not connected and are placed separately within the coordinate plane. Their placement and direction indicate that they likely represent different magnitudes and directions in a two-dimensional vector space.
