The triangle law and the parallelogram law of addition are:
AOpposite to each other
BUnrelated to each other
CInverse of each other
DEquivalent to each other
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Equivalent to each other
1. Applying the triangle law inside the parallelogram gives OA + AC = OC.
2. Since AC equals OB, this becomes OA + OB = OC.
3. That is the parallelogram law, so the two laws are equivalent.
