Two vectors, A and B, are added by means of vector addition to give a resultant vector R. The magnitudes of A and B are 9 m and 8 m, respectively, and they can have any orientation. What are the maximum and minimum possible values for the magnitude of R?

What would be R if A,B are in the same direction? In the opposite directions?
SAME: 9+8=17 (max)
OPPOSITE: 9-8=1 (min)
Is that right?
