Vector operations can greatly simplify complex geometry problems, especially if what you need is an algorithm to solve a general case, and not just a very specific onetime solution. The geometric algebra is the tool that allows us to study and solve geometric problems in a simpler and more direct way than purely geometric reasoning, that is, by means of the algebra of geometric quantities instead of synthetic geometry.
