If vec a ,\ vec b ,\ vec c are positi...

If ` vec a ,\ vec b ,\ vec c` are position vectors o the point `A ,\ B ,\ a n d\ C` respectively, write the value of ` vec A B+ vec B C+ vec A Cdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have given
` vec a ,\ vec b ,\ vec c` are position vectors to the point `A ,\ B ,\ a n d\ C`.
We get `triangle ABC`
By triangle law of vector addition
`vec{AC}=vec{AB}+vec{BC}`
To find
`vec A B+ vec B C+ vec A C`
`Rightarrow vec A B+ vec B C+ vec A C = vec AC+ vec AC`
`=2 vec AC`
