Definition 3.1
 VECTOR is a mathematical quantity that has both MAGNITUDE
AND DIRECTION
 VECTOR: represented by arrow where the direction of arrow
indicates the DIRECTION of the vector & the length of arrow
indicates the MAGNITUDE of the vector.
 Eg: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, ect
INTRODUCTION
Definition 3.2
 SCALAR is a mathematical quantity that has MAGNITUDE
only.
 VECTOR: represented by a single letter s.a, a.
 Eg: temperature, mass, length area, ect
INTRODUCTION
Definition 3.3
 A vector in the plane is a directed line segment that has initial
point A and terminal point B, denoted by, ; its length is
denoted by or also can be represent as .
