    Three line segments with the same direction. In geometry, direction, also known as spatial direction or vector direction, is the common characteristic of all rays which coincide when translated to share a common endpoint; equivalently, it is the common characteristic of vectors (such as the relative position between a pair of points) which can be made equal by scaling (by some positive scalar ...

  9. Direction cosine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_cosine

    If vectors u and v have direction cosines (α u, β u, γ u) and (α v, β v, γ v) respectively, with an angle θ between them, their units vectors are ^ = + + (+ +) = + + ^ = + + (+ +) = + +. Taking the dot product of these two unit vectors yield, ^ ^ = + + = ⁡, where θ is the angle between the two unit vectors, and is also the angle between u and v.
