Two vectors vec P and vec Q of the same ...

Two vectors `vec P and vec Q` of the same type with tails at a point O are inclined at angle `theta`. The diagonal of the parallelogram, drawn with `vec P and vec Q` as adjacent sides, represents their resultant. Then the area of the parallelogram is given by

A

`vec P cdot vec Q`

B

`vec P + vec Q`

C

`vec P xx vec Q`

D

`|vec P xx vec Q|`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The magnitude of their vector product `| vec P xx vec Q|` gives the area of the parallelogram.
