Define base of a triangle?
any side of the triangle that is perpendicular to the height.
Define perpendicular lines?
Two lines which intersect each other which form a 90o angle at the intersection.
How would you define the zero vector by using the idea of components?
All components of the zero vector equal to zero.
Can the magnitude of a vector be ever equal to one of its components?
Yes. - if all the other components are zero. When the word "component" means the mutually perpendicular vectors that add (through vector addition) to form the resultant, then then answer is that "the magnitude of a vector" can equal one of its components, if and only if all other components have zero length (magnitude). This answer applies to the typical case of a vector being expressed in terms of components defined by an orthogonal basis. In normal space, these basis vectors merely define the relevant orthogonal coordinate system. There are, however, mathematical systems that use a nonorthogonal basis and the answer is different and presumably not part of the submitted question.
What do the letters x y and z have to do with robotics?
If you are designing a 3 dimensional coordinate system to define the robots movements then you might use these three letters to define each axis of direction (3 axes perpendicular to each other)
