Can your students express BP in terms of a, b and c? This 16-slide interactive lesson uses vectors to solve geometry problems in shapes such as trapeziums and hexagons.

Mastering Vectors and Geometry at GCSE

Students learn to use vectors to solve problems in geometry and to describe the position of any point in two dimensions. Given vectors a and b in a diagram, they express other vectors such as AD = 3a, AL = 3a + 2b and KA = −2a − 2b. Problems include a trapezium where Q is the midpoint of CB and P divides CD in the ratio 1 : 3, a regular hexagon with centre O, and a parallelogram, each requiring vectors to be written in terms of a, b and sometimes c.
