Vectors represent magnitde and direction. Vectors can be named like a ray, or in bold with one letter in bold, (or in handwritten text). The magnitde of ector is the size of a ector often representing force or elocity. The direction of a ector is an angle measrement where 0 is to the right on the horizontal. 180 135 Directio n 90 45 0 225 270 315 I.
