If the vectors ` bar (AB)=3 hat i+4 hat k` and ` bar (AC)=5 hat i-2 hat j+4 hat k` are the sides of a triangle ABC, then the length of the median through A is

A

`sqrt(72)`

B

`sqrt(33)`

C

`sqrt(45)`

D

`sqrt(18)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`vec( AM) = (vec(AB) + vec (AC))/2`
`vec(AM) = ((3 hat i + 4 hat k)+ (5 hat i - 2 hat j + 4 hat k))/2`
`= (8 hat i - 2 hat j + 8 hat k )/2`
`vec (AM)= 4 hat i- hat j + 4 hat k `
`|vec(AM)| = sqrt(4^2 + 1^2 + 4^2)`
`= sqrt(16 +1+16) = sqrt33`
option 2 is correct
