Let a→\overset{\to}{a} and b→\overset{\to}{b} be two vector such that \left|\overset{\to}{a}\right| = \sqrt{14}, \left|\overset{\to}{b}\right| = \sqrt{6}and∣a→×b→∣=48and \left|\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right| = \sqrt{48}. Then (a→⋅b→)2{\left(\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{b}\right)}^{2} is equal to _____ .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given,

∣a→∣=14,∣b→∣=6 and \left|\overset{\to}{a}\right| = \sqrt{14}, \left|\overset{\to}{b}\right| = \sqrt{6} \text{ and } \left|\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right| = \sqrt{48}</p><p>Nowweknowthat,</p><p></p><p>Now we know that,</p><p>{\left|\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2} + {\left|\left(\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{b}\right)\right|}^{2} = {\left|\overset{\to}{a}\right|}^{2}{\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2}\sin^{2}\theta + {\left|\overset{\to}{a}\right|}^{2}{\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2}\cos^{2}\theta</p><p></p><p>⇒ {\left|\overset{\to}{a} \times \overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2} + {\left|\left(\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{b}\right)\right|}^{2} = {\left|\overset{\to}{a}\right|}^{2}{\left|\overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2}</p><p>{ascos⁡2θ+sin⁡2θ=1}</p><p>\left\{\text{as}\cos^{2}\theta + \sin^{2}\theta = 1\right\}

⇒48+∣a→⋅b→∣2=14×6⇒ 48 + {\left|\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2} = 14 \times 6

⇒∣a→⋅b→∣2=84−48=36⇒ {\left|\overset{\to}{a} \cdot \overset{\to}{b}\right|}^{2} = 84 - 48 = 36.
