Math 231 Worksheet 1 (Vector)

This document contains 14 multi-part math problems involving vectors and lines in 3D space. The problems cover topics like finding the sum and difference of vectors, projections of vectors, angles between vectors, planes containing vectors, lines parallel to other lines, intersections of lines and planes, distances between lines and points or planes. The goal is to use concepts of vectors, lines, and planes to solve applied mathematics problems in 3D coordinate space.
