    If you know a vector’s vertical and horizontal components you have to only find hypotenuse of a right triangle.

    You can use the Pythagorean theorem (x2 + y2 = h2),

    h=sqrt (x2+y2)

    when you know the horizontal and vertical components of a vector, you can use the tangent to find the angle because

    tan (theta) = y/x

    theta = inverse tangent y/x:

    this will tell you direction
