3. Chapter Overview
Whatβs the distance between
(1,0,4) and (β3,5,9)?
1:: Distance between two points. 2:: π, π, π notation for vectors
This chapter is not hugely long, nor intended to be demanding (relatively speaking!).
Itβs a reminder of how 3D coordinates work (which you may have encountered at
GCSE), and extends some of the results you learned in Year 1 vectors from 2D to 3D.
βFind the angles that the vector
π = 2π β 3π β π makes with each of the
positive coordinate axis.β
3:: Magnitude of a 3D vector and using
it to find angle between vector and a
coordinate axis.
Note for teachers: All the harder vectors content from C4 has been moved to
Further Maths, i.e. no vector equations of straight lines nor dot product nor
angles between vectors (except with a coordinate axis).

4:: Solving Geometric Problems
Same as Year 1 but with 3D vectors.
5:: Application to Mechanics
Using πΉ = ππ with 3D force/acceleration
vectors and understanding distance is the
magnitude of the 3D displacement vector, etc.

In 2D, how did we find the distance from
a point to the origin?
Using Pythagoras:
π = ππ + ππ = π
π ?

How about in 3D then?
You may be familiar with this method from GCSE.
Using Pythagoras on the base of the cuboid:
ππ + ππ = π
Then using the highlighted triangle:
ππ + πππ = ππ
We could have similarly done this is one go using:
ππ + ππ + πππ = ππ
π₯

From Year 1 you will be familiar with the magnitude |π| of a vector π being its length.
We can see from above that this nicely extends to 3D:
! The magnitude of a vector π =
π₯
π¦
π§
:
π = π₯2 + π¦2 + π§2
And the distance of (π₯, π¦, π§) from the origin is π₯2 + π¦2 + π§2
5. Distance between two 3D points
π₯
π¦
π§
π 3,4,12
π 4, β1,7
How do we find the distance between π and π?
Itβs just the magnitude/length of the vector
between them.
i.e.
π·πΈ =
π
βπ
βπ
= ππ + βπ π + βπ π = ππ
! The distance between two points is:
π = Ξπ₯ 2 + Ξπ¦ 2 + Ξz 2
Ξπ₯ means
βchange in π₯β

Distance between (β5,2,0) and β2, β3, β3 .
π = ππ + ππ + ππ = ππ
Fro Tip: Because weβre
squaring, it doesnβt matter
whether the change is
negative or positive.

6. Test Your Understanding So Farβ¦
[Textbook] Find the distance from the origin to the point π(7,7,7).
[Textbook] The coordinates of π΄ and π΅ are (5,3, β8) and 1, π, β3 respectively.
Given that the distance from π΄ to π΅ is 3 10 units, find the possible values of π.
ππ + ππ + ππ = π π

7. π, π and π notation
In 2D you were previously introduced to π =
1
0
and π =
0

as unit vectors in each of
the π₯ and π¦ directions.
It meant for example that
8
β2
could be written as 8π β 2π since 8

Find the magnitude of π = 2π β π + 4π and hence find π, the unit vector in the
direction of π.

2π β π + 4π
Recall from Year 1 that if the length/magnitude
of the vector is 21, then clearly dividing this
vector by 21 will give a length of 1. It has unit
length and therefore is known as a unit vector.

How could you work out the angle
between a vector and the π₯-axis?
Just form a right-angle triangle!
! The angle between π =
π₯
π¦
π§
and the π₯-axis is:
cos ππ₯ =
π₯
π
and similarly for the π¦ and π§ axes.

[Textbook] Find the angles that the vector
π = 2π β 3π β π makes with each of the
positive coordinate axis.
π = 22 + β3 2 + β1 2 = 14
cos ππ₯ =

13. Comparing Coefficients
There are many contexts in maths where we can βcompare coefficientsβ, e.g.
3π₯2
+ 5π₯ β‘ π΄ π₯2
+ 1 + π΅π₯ + πΆ
Comparing π₯2
terms: 3 = π΄
We can do the same with vectors:
[Textbook] Given that
3π + π + 2 π + 120π = ππ β ππ + 4ππππ,
find the values of π, π and π.
Comparing π: 3 = π
Comparing π: π + 2 = βπ β΄ π = β5
Comparing π: 120 = 4πππ β΄ π = β2
[Textbook] The diagram shows a cuboid whose
vertices are π, π΄, π΅, πΆ, π·, πΈ, πΉ and πΊ. Vectors π, π and
π are the position vectors of the vertices π΄, π΅ and πΆ
respectively. Prove that the diagonals ππΈ and π΅πΊ
bisect each other.

π΅
Suppose there is a point of intersection π» of ππΈ and π΅πΊ.
We can get to π» in two ways:
ππ» = π ππΈ for some scalar π.
ππ» = ππ΅ + π΅π» = ππ΅ + π π΅πΊ for some scalar π .
ππ» = π π + π + π = π + π π β π + π
ππ + ππ + ππ = π π + 1 β π π + π π
Comparing coefficients, π = π and π = 1 β π
Adding: 2π = 1 β΄ π = π =
1
2
Therefore lines bisect each other.
π»
The strategy behind this
type of question is to
find the point of
intersection in 2 ways,
and compare
coefficients.

but mass and time are vectors. Clearly these can act in 3D space.

16. Example
[Textbook] A particle of mass 0.5 kg is acted on by three forces.
πΉ1 = 2π β π + 2π π
πΉ2 = βπ + 3π β 3π π

a. Find the resultant force π acting on the particle.
b. Find the acceleration of the particle, giving your answer in the form ππ + ππ + ππ ms-2.
