Let ABCD be a parallelogram such that ` vec A B= vec q , vec A D= vec p""a n d""/_B A D` be an acute angle. If ` vec r` is the vector that coincides with the altitude directed from the vertex B to the side AD, then ` vec r` is given by (1) ` vec r=3 vec q-(3( vec pdot vec q))/(( vec pdot vec p)) vec p` (2) ` vec r=- vec q+(( vec pdot vec q)/( vec pdot vec p)) vec p` (3) ` vec r= vec q+(( vec pdot vec q)/( vec pdot vec p)) vec p` (4) ` vec r=-3 vec q+(3( vec pdot vec q))/(( vec pdot vec p)) vec p`

A

`r=3p+(3(q*p))/(p*p)p`

B

`r=-p+((q*p))/(p*p)p`

C

`r=p-((q*p))/(p*p)p`

D

`r=-3p+(3(q*p))/(p*p)p`
