OpenStudy (phi):

did you sketch the two vectors?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no in my book it says that one of the diagonals is u+v so i have one of the lengths which is sqrt10. i cant seem to find the other diagonal though

OpenStudy (phi):

a sketch always helps

|dw:1393695574873:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just cant find the other diagonal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1393695499498:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the other diagonal would be v-u? or u-v?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

CORRECT.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but which one would it be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or are they the same?

OpenStudy (phi):

you can see v+d= u --> d= u-v or u+d = v --> d= v-u the direction is different depending which way we draw it. the length will be the same either way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ONLY DIRECTION IS DIFFERENT

OpenStudy (phi):

so you need to find the length of u-v (or v-u)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok u-v=<1,1> so the length would be sqrt2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup its sqrt2. thanks
