Find the magnitude and direction of a vector

The video tutorial explains how to find the magnitude and direction of a vector. It begins by introducing the concept of vectors in component form and why it's useful. The instructor then demonstrates how to calculate the magnitude using the square root of the sum of the squares of the components. Finally, the video covers finding the direction by calculating the angle using the tangent inverse of the ratio of the vector's components, rounding the result to the nearest whole degree for simplicity.
