Abstract
Vectors are used to represent physical quantities such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, etc.
In this report we are going to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine how perpendicular vectors
are, And to find the distance between given angles and consequent vectors each corner point. Finally,
the vectors in graph view to analyze and solve the given questions.
I. Introduction
Vectors are geometrical entities that
have magnitude and direction. A vector can be
represented by a line with an arrow pointing
towards its direction and its length represents
the magnitude of the vector. Therefore, vectors

are represented by arrows; they have initial

vectors was evolved over a period of 200
years. Vectors are used to represent physical
II. Objectives
quantities such as displacement, velocity,
The objective of this report is to
acceleration, etc.(Cuemath et, at., 2022)
determine and find the amount of
distance from Physics Lab (point A) to
Elevator (point B) and Physics Lab
(point A) to Lab D (point C). In
addition, to find location of the given
directions. Finally, to create vectors in
a graph to solve the problems given in

III. Methodology
In this laboratory activity, the students
need to measure the distance between two
points. The method used by the students is the
measuring stick to measure and find the
distance, and one student listed down the total
of resultant vector with the use of Pythagorean
Theorem, And for the Vector Operations
activity. The students are going to calculate
and answer the problem in the given
worksheet.
