Question

Let a,b and c  be unit vectors such that  a+bc=0 If the area of triangle formed by vectors  a and b  is A, then what is the value of 4A2?

Moderate
Solution

Given  a+b = c

Now vector c is along the diagonal of the parallelogram which has adjacent side vectors  a and b

Since c is also a unit vector, triangle formed by  vectors  a and b is an equilateral triangle. Then
