Final answer:

Two vectors with magnitudes of 4 meters and 3 meters can have a resultant of 3 meters, 4 meters, or 8 meters, but not 0 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two vectors with magnitudes of 4 meters and 3 meters cannot have a resultant of:

  1. 3 meters
  2. 4 meters
  3. 0 meters
  4. 8 meters

To determine if two vectors can have a resultant, we need to use vector addition. The magnitude of the resultant vector is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two vectors. In this case, the sum of 4 meters and 3 meters is 7 meters, which means that a resultant of 3 meters, 4 meters, or 8 meters is possible. However, a resultant of 0 meters is not possible because the magnitudes of the two vectors are not equal.
