See the figures.

Work Step by Step

If two vectors can be add to zero, they must have the same magnitude but opposite directions. (See conceptual question 3) If the sum of two or more vectors is equal to zero, it is necessary that the head of the last vectors coincides with the tail of the first vector. It is possible for three vectors of unequal magnitude, but not for two vectors of unequal magnitude.
