Question 1155233: Draw non-parallel vectors u, v, and u + v emanating from a common point. In order that u+v bisect the angle formed by u and v, what must be true of u and v?
The magnitudes of vectors "u" and "v" must be equal.
This condition is a necessary and sufficient condition in order the parallelogram of adding vectors would be a rhombus.
Rhombuses are the unique shape of quadrilaterals, where the diagonals bisect angles.
