If you laid them out tip to end they'd probably make a nice triangle. That is, of course, unless two of them have the exact same direction (you don't have much of a triangle if there's a 180 degree angle in there).
Which does lead us to some things you can absolutely say about them: either they all have different directions (they make a triangle) and the sum of their directions adds up to a factor of 360, or two of them have the exact same direction and the third has an opposite direction (they make a line) in which case the magnitude of the third is exactly equal to the sum of the other two magnitudes.
That's a start, anyway!

Any 3 vectors laid end to end which type a closed triangle would have a 0 resultant by the type this potential that the sum of value of any 2 of those vectors can't be decrease than that of the 0.33 vector. sure, the vectors additionally should be interior an analogous airplane. yet could they be at one hundred twenty levels with one yet another? What approximately A0 deg + A90 deg + (2^a million/2)*A225 deg ? Sorry, I neglected to observe that the question says they are of equivalent value. Please overlook approximately this answer.

They cancel each other out.
If you had said, "...three Vectors equal in magnitude..." I would have said they're all separated 120-degrees from each other.

They form a triangle... What else do you have in mind?
