Magnitude of vector is just the distance between the initial and terminal points.

i still dont understand it im new to this

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Okay no problem. Do you know the distance formula ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=(x2 − x1)^2 + (y2 − y1)^2

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Brilliant. Just one correct it should have a sqrt sign above whole expression.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok. is this all i use to figure out the problem

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yes. You have to calculate the distance between the initial and terminal point.
