Geometrical Problems Involving Vectors | Year 1 Pure | A Level Maths

Vectors give an elegant way to attack geometrical problems that would be cumbersome in pure coordinate form. In this lesson you will learn how to use position vectors with the relationship AB = OB — OA, find the distance between two points using d^2 = (x1 — x2)^2 + (y1 — y2)^2, and use vectors to solve problems including finding the position vector of the fourth corner of a parallelogram given three corners.
