the additive of x&y components of a vector draws a parallelogram not a triangle
Mmmmm

Parallelogram - In Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is a simple quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure

Triangle - A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices. It is one of the basic shapes in geometry. A triangle with vertices A, B, and C is denoted. In Euclidean geometry any three points, when non-collinear, determine a unique triangle and simultaneously, a unique plane.
