2D vector magnitude calculator

To calculate the magnitude (or length) of a 2D vector, you need to use the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is:

magnitude = √(x^2 + y^2)

where x and y are the components of the vector in the x and y directions, respectively.

Here’s an example of how to use the formula:

Suppose you have a vector with components x = 3 and y = 4. To find the magnitude of the vector, you would calculate:

magnitude = √(3^2 + 4^2)
magnitude = √(9 + 16)
magnitude = √25
magnitude = 5

Therefore, the magnitude (or length) of the vector is 5 units.

2D vector magnitude

The magnitude (or length) of a 2D vector is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.

Let’s say you have a vector with components (x, y). The magnitude of the vector is given by the formula:

magnitude = √(x^2 + y^2)

For example, suppose you have a vector with components (3, 4). Then the magnitude of the vector is:

magnitude = √(3^2 + 4^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5

Therefore, the magnitude (or length) of the vector with components (3, 4) is 5 units.
