Revise how to calculate the magnitude of a vector using the vector components as part of National 5 Maths.

Practise using vector components when adding, subtracting or calculating the magnitude of vectors ahead of your National 5 Maths exam.

To find the result, you merely multiply each vector component by the scalar value. The magnitude of a vector is the square root of the sum of the squares of the components.
