Question
A garden has a triangular sunshade suspended from three points A(2 , 0 , 2), B(8 , 0 , 2)and C(5 , 4 , 3), relative to an origin in the corner of the garden. All distances are measuredin metres.(a) (i) Find ⟶CA
Solution
To find the vector CA, we subtract the coordinates of point A from the coordinates of point C.
The coordinates of point C are (5, 4, 3) and the coordinates of point A are (2, 0, 2).
So, CA = C - A
= (5 - 2, 4 - 0, 3 - 2)
= (3, 4, 1)
So, the vector CA is (3, 4, 1).
