Question

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b} and \vec{c}$ are mutually perpendicular unit vectors, write the value of $| \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} | .$

Sum

Solution

$Given that \vec{a}, \vec{b} and \vec{c} are unit vectors .$
$S o, | \vec{a} | = 1, | \vec{b} | = 1 and | \vec{c} | = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . (i)$
$Since they are mutually perpendicular,$
$\vec{a} . \vec{b} = \vec{b} . \vec{c} = \vec{c} . \vec{a} = 0 . . . . . . . . . . (i i)$
$Now,$
${| \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} |}^{2} = {| \vec{a} |}^{2} + {| \vec{b} |}^{2} + {| \vec{c} |}^{2} + 2 \vec{a} . \vec{b} + 2 \vec{b} . \vec{c} + 2 \vec{c} . \vec{a}$
$= 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 . . . . . . . . [Using (i) and (i i)]$
$= 3$
$∴ | \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} | = \sqrt{3}$
