29.1.1 Arrows in Space

Core idea

Draw a directed arrow inside the box from the last stage and you have a spatial vector a — it carries both a size and a direction.

Module goal. Carry the familiar arrow of a plane vector into three dimensions, build up addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and tests for collinear and coplanar vectors in space, picking up where the last stage's feel for solid shapes left off.
