In a triangle `DeltaOAC`, if `B` is the mid point of side `AC` and ` vec (O A)= vec a ,\ vec (O B)= vec b ,\ ` then what is ` vec (O C) ?`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,

In `DeltaOAC`,

` vec (O A)= vec a ,\ vec (O B)= vec b`

`B` is the mid point

`Position \ \ \ vec B= (Position \ \ \ vec A+Position \ \ \ vec C)/(2)`

`vec b=( vec (OC)+ vec a)/(2)`

`2vec b=vec a +vec (OC)`

`vec (OC)=2vec b - vec a`
