KCET2015MathematicsQuadratic Equation
If ( a = i +2 j +2 k ,| b |=5 ) and the angle between ( a ) and ( b ) is ( 6 ), then the area of the triangle formed by these two vectors as two sides is
Options
- A( 15 2 )
- B( 15 )
- C( 15 4 )
- D( 15 3 2 )
Correct answer
C. ( 15 4 )
Step-by-step solution
Given that a = i +2 j +2 k (1) So, | a |= 1+4+4 = 9 =3| b |=5 and angle between a and b is 6 We know that area formed by two vectors as two sides is given by Area = 1 2 | a | b = 1 2 (3)(5) 6 = 15 4
