Project work: Places on a graph as vectors
Method
On a sheet of graph paper, draw the X-axis and the Y-axis through the middle, and take the point where they cross as the origin O(0, 0).
In different parts of the graph, so that they fall in different quadrants, draw or mark 5 small objects, for example a house (A), a tree (B), a school (C), a temple (D) and a pond (E).
Find the coordinates (x, y) of each object.
Write those coordinates as position vectors and as column vectors.
Complete the table below, working out the magnitude of each position vector and the scalar products asked for.
Prepare a report of your work and present it in class.
