Given that the point A has position vector -5ð¢+7ð£-3ð¤ and the point B has position vector -8ð¢+2ð£-ð¤. Find |AB|.
Added by Nathan B.
Step 1
Find the vector AB by subtracting the position vector of A from the position vector of B: AB = (-8𝐢+2𝐣-𝐤) - (-5𝐢+7𝐣-3𝐤) AB = -8𝐢+2𝐣-𝐤 + 5𝐢-7𝐣+3𝐤 AB = -3𝐢-5𝐣+2𝐤 Show more…
