Draw the column vectors \(\mathbf{a} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \ 7 \end{pmatrix}\), \(\overrightarrow{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} -4 \ -2 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\overrightarrow{BC} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 \ -1 \end{pmatrix}\) on the \(1\) unit by \(1\) unit square grid provided.

Draw the column vectors \(\mathbf{a} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 7 \end{pmatrix}\), \(\overrightarrow{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\overrightarrow{BC} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\) on the \(1\) unit by \(1\) unit square grid provided.

Find the magnitude of \(\mathbf{a}\), \(\overrightarrow{AB}\) and \(\overrightarrow{BC}\).
