A quantity that has both magnitude and direction is called a:

Answer: Vector.

  • A Scalar
  • B Vector
  • C Tensor
  • D Matrix

Correct answer: B. Vector

Explanation: A vector has both magnitude (size) and direction, unlike a scalar which has only magnitude.

xya (4,1)b (2,3)a + b (6,4)

Triangle law of vector addition: placing vector b at the head of vector a, the diagonal from the start to the final head gives the resultant a + b.
