Question A 04 |
---|
Points and form the vertices of a parallelogram that is the subject of questions A4 and A5. Note: and are points adjacent to . What is the point ? |
Make sure you understand the problem fully: What is the question asking you to do? Are there specific conditions or constraints that you should take note of? How will you know if your answer is correct from your work only? Can you rephrase the question in your own words in a way that makes sense to you? |
If you are stuck, check the hint below. Consider it for a while. Does it give you a new idea on how to approach the problem? If so, try it! |
Hint |
---|
Using the parallelogram law of vector addition, express the vector in terms of and . |
Checking a solution serves two purposes: helping you if, after having used the hint, you still are stuck on the problem; or if you have solved the problem and would like to check your work.

Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. By the parallelogram law of vector addition, when and are points adjacent to , we have so that Since are given, we have
Plugging these vectors into the equation, we get Adding to both sides, we finally obtain the point : |
