Vector Magnitude Calculator
Find the magnitude of a three-dimensional vector from its components using the square root of the sum of squares.
Examples
- (3,4,12) ⇒ 13
- (1,2,2) ⇒ 3
FAQ
What if a component is negative?
The formula squares components, so sign does not affect magnitude.
Can this work for 2D vectors?
Yes, set the unused component to 0.
Is the result unitless?
It carries the same unit as the components.
Additional Information
- Vector magnitude represents distance from the origin.
- Also known as vector length or norm.
