This is a picture of a section of Kapolei, where I live, and as you can see there are many different roads winding through it. In this section of Vectors we are studying how you can find the angle and length of a vector given one or two other vectors. We can do this by using trigonometry equations such as sin, cosine, and tangent. For example, when roads are built not all of them were built to take each person directly to the location they had to go, that's why we have so many roads connection to other roads. Each road represents a vector with different direction and magnitude. All these vectors have a start point and an end point, such as the "tail to tip" method infers. Using the BUREKU method we can find how far from our house to any direct point on this island by using the vector measurements for every road we would have to take to get there. Isn't that cool?
