Vedclass · Answer

(B) The area of a parallelogram formed by two vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ as adjacent sides is given by the magnitude of their cross product: $	ext{Area} = |\vec{A} 	imes \vec{B}|$.Given that $	ext{Area} = \frac{AB}{2}$,we have $|\vec{A} 	imes \vec{B}| = \frac{AB}{2}$.Since $|\vec{A} 	imes \vec{B}| = AB \sin 	heta$,where $	heta$ is the angle between the vectors,we can write: $AB \sin 	heta = \frac{AB}{2}$.Dividing both sides by $AB$,we get $\sin 	heta = \frac{1}{2}$.Therefore,$	heta = 30^{\circ}$ or $	heta = \frac{\pi}{6}$ radians.

What is the angle between $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ if $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ are the adjacent sides of a parallelogram drawn from a common point and the area of the parallelogram is $\frac{AB}{2}$?
