According to http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RadiusVector.html the radius vector (often written as r hat, or the letter r with a carrot ^ over it) is just the distance from the origin to the point of interest.

So the magnitude is the distance between the point and the origin, and the direction is the direction from the origin to the point.

How can you use the pythagorean theorem to add two vectors that are perpindicular to each other?

Construct the rectangle that contains the right angle subtended by the vectors. Calculate or construct the diagonal of the rectangle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the two vectors as sides. The hypotenuse is also the vector that is the sum of the two original vectors. Calculate the magnitude of that vector by applying the theorem.


If the circumference of a circle is increased by 50 then the area will be increased by?

there is no constant that will calculate this, since circumference is calculated with only radius and area with radius squared. you will have to calculate the radius using the initial circumference and then the radius again for the new circumference (with the 50 added). then calculate an area for each radius..then you can see the increase.
