If a and b are two vectors such that |a| = 2, |b| = 3 and a.b = 4, find the value of |a × b|.
If a and b are two vectors such that |a| = 2, |b| = 3 and a.b = 4, find the value of |a × b|.
- A. √10
- B. √20
- C. 2
- D. 6
Answer: B) √20
Explanation: We know the identity |a × b|² + (a.b)² = |a|²|b|². So, |a × b|² + 16 = (4)(9) = 36. |a × b|² = 20, hence |a × b| = √20.
