Vector Magnitude & Direction

Calculate vector magnitude & direction from multiple technical inputs.

How this calculator works

Enter vector a x, vector a y, vector b x, vector b y. CalcStack applies the displayed formula and reports each intermediate planning value with the units shown.

Formula / method

Magnitude = √(x²+y²); dot product = x₁x₂+y₁y₂; cos θ = dot/(|A||B|)

Worked example

Use the documented default inputs to model vector magnitude & direction.

Assumptions and limitations

Inputs represent stable average operating conditions and the displayed equation applies.

This is a planning model; real systems and measurements can require domain-specific corrections.
