Step 1
So, its length is equal to the product of the lengths of vectors A and B. Therefore, the length of vector C is equal to (A*B) + (C*B). Since A and B are both vectors, their product is always a vector. Therefore, the length of vector C is also a vector. Show more…

The following figure shows a triangle formed by the three vectors $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{A}}, \overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}},$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{C}}$. If vector $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{C}}$, is drawn between the midpoints of vectors $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{A}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}}$ show that $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{C}}^{\prime}=\overrightarrow{\mathbf{C}} / 2$
Consider a triangle whose vertices are A(2, -3, 4), B(1, 0, -1), and C(3, 1, 2). a. Find vector AB + BC + CA. b. Find vector BA + AC +CB.
