Green Bridge Learning Resource For Vector Geometry

Overview

A vector has both size and direction, which makes it the natural way to describe movement, force or displacement. Adding vectors lets you combine journeys or pushes, and expressing one vector in terms of others is a powerful way to prove geometric facts.

In this lesson (Extended tier) you will represent vectors by directed line segments, use position vectors, add and subtract vectors to express others in terms of two given vectors, and use vectors to reason about geometry.
