In geometry, the term
is more frequently used for the vector sum. We now
give an example to further clarify this claim.
Consider the origin-symmetric rectangle of sides and and the other origin-symmetric rectangle of sides and and their shown below. \
Consider the origin-symmetric rectangle of sides and and the other origin-symmetric rectangle of sides and and their shown below. \
Now we compute their vector sum to show how it is equivalent to the :
So we get: which is inequality () for .
