TASK 1
G H I

D E F

A B C

The diagram shows 3 sets of equally spaced parallel lines

If AC = p and AD = q , express the following vectors in terms of p and q

(a) CA= (b) AG= (c) AB= (d) DF=

(e) HE= (f) AF= (g) AH= (h) DC=

(i) CG= (j) IA= (k) EC= (l) IB=

TASK 2

a b

On the grid below draw the following vectors:


1. 2a
2. –a
3. 2b
4. –b
5. a + b
6. a – b
7. b – a
8. 2a + b
ANSWERS

(a) CA= -p (b) AG= 2q (c) AB= ½p (d) DF= p

(e) HE= -q (f) AF= p + q (g) AH= 2q + ½p (h) DC= p - q

(i) CG= -p + 2q (j) IA= p – 2q (k) EC= ½ p - q (l) IB= -2q – ½p

1. 2a
2. –a 2 3
3. 2b 5
4. –b
5. a+b 1
6. a–b 4
7. b–a 6
8. 2a + b
