Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 150

Question: If the vectors $ (\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) $ and$ 3\hat{i} $ form two sides of a triangle, the area of the triangle is:

Options:

A) $ \sqrt{3} $ B)$ 2\sqrt{3} $ C) $ \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} $ D)$ 3\sqrt{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] The area of the triangle $ A=\frac{1}{2}|(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})\times (3\hat{i})|=\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}. $
