### ~hint
**Forces in space**
Since we don't live on a flat world, forces happen in three dimensional space. If the movement of an object isn't exactly in the direction of one axis, we need a way to calculate its acceleration from the values measured for all the axes together.
If you put your @boardname@ on a level table and push it diagonally, you have an acceleration in two dimensions. You can find the acceleration in that direction just like how you calculate the long side of a triangle using the two shorter sides (**X** and **Y**):
```strength2D = Math.sqrt((accelX * accelX) + (accelY * accelY))```
If you decide to lift your @boardname@ off the table, then you've just added another dimension, so insert the acceleration value for the **Z** axis into the equation:
```strength3D = Math.sqrt((accelX * accelX) + (accelY * accelY) + (accelZ * accelZ))```
This calculation is called the [Euclidean norm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_norm) of acceleration.
