The magnitude of a given vector with end points (5, – 5, 0) and (2, 3, 0) must be ______.
Question
The magnitude of a given vector with end points (5, – 5, 0) and (2, 3, 0) must be ______.
A.
83
B.
65
C.
97
D.
73
Correct option is D
The vector v from point A(5,−5,0) to point B(2,3,0) is calculated by subtracting the coordinates of A from B:v=B−A=(2−5,3−(−5),0−0)=(−3,8,0)Compute the Magnitude of the VectorThe magnitude ∣v∣ of a vector (vx,vy,vz) is given by:∣v∣=vx2+vy2+vz2Substituting the components of v:∣v∣=(−3)2+82+02=9+64+0=73
