Method 2: Graphical (Head-to-Tail)

Arrange the vectors (the black arrows) head to tail, as in the diagram below.

Drag and drop the first point of the resultant vector (the red circle with a 1 in it at the top left of the screen) to the beginning of the chain and the second point to the end of the vector chain.

Click on the Resultant button in the top left corner of the screen to create the resultant vector.

Does the resultant makes sense based on what the x and y components are indicating?

Compare the x and y components of the resultant vector with the x and y components you moved to either side of the screen.
