The sides of a parallelogram are `2hati +4hatj -5hatk and hati + 2hatj +3hatk `. The unit vector parallel to one of the diagonals is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let OABC be the given parallelogramm and let the adjacent sides OA and OB be represented by `a=2hati+4hatj-5hatk and b=hati+2hatj+3hatk` respectively.
Now, the vectors along the two diagonals are

The required unit vectors are
`hatnn_(1)=(d)/(|d_(1)|)=(3hati+6hatj-2hatk)/(sqrt(3^(2)+6^(2)+(-2)^(2)))`
`=(3)/(7)hati+(6)/(7)hatj-(2)/(7)hatk`
and `hatn_(2)=(d_(2))/(|d_(2)|)=(-hati-2hatj+8hatk)/(sqrt((-1)^(2)+(-2)^(2)+8^(2)))`
`=(-1)/(sqrt(69))hati-(2)/(sqrt(69))hatj+(8)/(sqrt(69))hatk`
