I have attached the question below.
I don't understand how EF= 6a
Shouldn't it be -6a+6b since the sides in a regular hexagon are equal?

So the sides in a hexagon are composed of different vectors, which have the same length. Obviously, a side is parallel to the opposite side.

A vector contains both length and direction. For the two sides mentioned, the lengths are the same but the directions different. 6a is correct as EF = OA.

So it's 6a becasue it's parallel to the given side?
