Basic linear algebra doubt on Dimension of Vector space
$begingroup$
Let $V(R)=M$ of order $2$
$$W_1=left{
begin{pmatrix}
a & b \
0 & 0 \
end{pmatrix}
: a ,b in Rright}$$
$$W_2=left{
begin{pmatrix}
a & 0 \
c & 0 \
end{pmatrix}
: a ,c in R right}$$
$$W_1+W_2=left{begin{pmatrix}
2a & b \
c & 0 \
end{pmatrix}
: a ,b,c in Rright}$$
I am trying to find out the dimension of $W_1+W_2$ using the definition: The number of elements in the basis for $V$ is called dimension of $V$.
Now we have vectors $v_1=(2a,c),v_2=(b,0)$
both are linearly independent and each have two elements in it so dimension is $2$. Is this the correct way to find dimension ?

Check that $$left{begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \ 0 & 0end{pmatrix}, begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \ 0 & 0end{pmatrix}, begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \ 1 & 0end{pmatrix} right}$$

Note that$$W_1+W_2=left{begin{pmatrix}a+a'&b\c&0end{pmatrix},middle|,a,a',b,cinmathbb{R}right}.$$It's dimension is three, because$$W_1+W_2=operatorname{span}left{begin{pmatrix}1&0\0&0end{pmatrix},begin{pmatrix}0&1\0&0end{pmatrix},begin{pmatrix}0&0\1&0end{pmatrix}right}$$and the previous set is linearly independent.
