Figure 8 shows 3D vectors a and b added to form the resultant vector named c.
(The 3D box is there to aid in visualizing the three dimensions).

VI Info - Figure 8 contains a vector diagram that I will describe as follows:
Imagine a cardboard box setting on a table. As you face the box, the bottom front edge represents a vector labeled a pointing from left to right. The bottom right edge represents a vector labeled b pointing from front to back. The vertical edge on the back right represents a vector labeled d pointing straight up.
The text relating to this diagram refers to the sum of the vectors a and b.
If you were to reach down into the box and draw a vector from the bottom left corner to the bottom back right corner, that line would represent a vector named c pointing from front bottom left to back bottom right.
Question 5 refers to all three vectors described above.
