- 1. ANALYTICAL METHOD OF ADDING VECTORS Solve the same problem as PART 1 but this time analytically. START with the values below. DO NOT USE VALUES FROM PART 1. Suppose you first walk A = 12 m in a direction 20° west of north and then B= 20 m in a direction 40° south of west. Let the +x-axis coincide with the easterly direction and the +y-axis with the northerly direction.
