          In the triangle ABC depicted at right, E is the midpoint of the side BC and D is some point on the segment AE. Let DA = a, DB = b, and DC = a + b. Express the following vectors in terms of a, b, and c:
(a) AB = B - A
(b) DE = DF + DC + CE
If |DE| = √(a^2 + b^2), find a + b + c/2.

Step 1

Expressing vectors in terms of given variables: (a) AB = B - A = (E + b) - (D + a) = E - D + b - a (b) DE = E - D DF = DE + EF = DE + (b/2)C - (a/2)C = (1/2)(2E - 2D + bC - aC) = (1/2)(2E - 2D + (b - a)C) Show more…
