Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

Components along the same axis, say the x-axis, are vectors along the same line and, thus, can be added to one another like ordinary numbers. The same is true for components along the y-axis. (For example, a 9-block eastward walk could be taken in two legs, the first 3 blocks east and the second 6 blocks east, for a total of 9, because they are along the same direction. ) So resolving vectors into components along common axes makes it easier to add them. Now that the components of R are known, its magnitude and direction can be found. Step 3. To get the magnitude.
