Let `veca vecb and vecc` be pairwise mutually perpendicular vectors, such that `|veca|=1, |vecb|=2, |vecc| = 2`, the find the length of ` veca +vecb + vecc`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`|veca+vecb+vecc|^(2)=(veca+vecb+vecc).(veca+vecb+vecc)`
`= |veca|^(2)+|vecb|^(2)+|vecc|^(2)+2veca.vecb + 2veca.vecb+2vecb.vecc+2vecc.veca`
`=1+4+4+0+0+0=9`
`Rightarrow |veca+vecb+vecc|=3`
