|→a+→b+→c|=√(→a+→b+→c)2=√a2+b2+c2+2(→a.→b+→b.→c+→c.→a) {Modulus formula for vectors}
∵→a.(→b+→c)=0,→b.(→c+→a)=0&→c.(→a+→b)=0 [As the given conditions of being perpendicular}
⇒→a.→b+→b.→c+→c.→a=0 {expanding the previous expression and substituting in the first expression}
⇒|→a+→b+→c|=√a2+b2+c2=√32+42+52=5√2
If the sum of two unit vectors is also a unit vector, then the angle between the two vectors is
In the pentagon ABCDE, join AC and AD.
By triangle law,
In ΔABC,
→AB+→BC=→AC
In ΔACD,
→AD+→DC=→AC
In ΔAED,
→AE+→ED=→AD
Now,
→AB+→AE+→BC+→DC+→ED+→AC=(→AB+→BC)+(→AE+→ED)+→DC+→AC
=→AC+(→AD+→DC)+→AC
=→AC+→AC+→AC
=3→AC
Let xy plane divides the line joining the points A(−1,3,4) and B(2,−5,6) in the ratio k:1.
x=2k−1k+1
y=−5k+3k+1
z=6k−4k+1
Since the plane is xy plane, so z=0,
6k−4k+1=0
6k−4=0
6k=4
k=46
k=23
Therefore, the ratio is 2:3 internally.
