The component method is the concept that you can resolve vectors into two independent (therefore perpendicular) vectors (say, in the x and y directions). And, you can "put a vector back together" simply, using the distance formula and the slope of the line.

So, the component form and the direction/magnitude forms are just two different ways of specifying a vector.
