The vector sum is called the resultant vector. Vectors can be added to other vectors or scalars to other scalars, but scalars cannot be added to vectors and vice versa. Vector addition is commutative and associative. For constructing a resultant vector, the parallelogram rule is useful for two vectors while the tail-to-head method is useful for more than two vectors.
