Question

Let  be a unit vector and  a non-zero vector not parallel to . The angles of the triangle, two of whose sides are represented by  

Solution

Correct option is

π/6, π/3, π/2

 

We have,   

         

Thus, two sides of the triangle are represented by the vectors  

        

Since  is perpendicular to . Therefore, angle between the sides represented by the given vectors is a right angle.  

Now,   

        

  

  

Thus, the lengths of the sides containing the right angle of the triangle are in the ratio . So, the other two angles are π/6 and π/3.
