Question

If `vec"a", vec"b", vec"c", vec"d"` are coplanar vectors, show that `(vec"a" xx vec"b") xx (vec"c" xx vec"d") = vec0`

Sum

Solution

`vec"a" xx vec"b"` is ⊥r  to `vec"a"` and `vec"b"`

`vec"c" xx vec"d"` is ⊥r  to `vec"c"` and `vec"d"`

Since `vec"a", vec"b", vec"c"` and `vec"d"` are coplanar.

`vec"a" xx vec"b", vec"c" xx vec"d"` are ⊥r to same plane

`vec"a" xx vec"b"` parallel to `vec"c" xx vec"d"`

⇒ `(vec"a" xx vec"b") xx (vec"c" xx vec"d") = vec0`
