LLet each of the vectors A = 5a, --a, + 3n,, B = – 2a, + 2u, + 4n,, and C - 3n, – 4u, extend outward from the origin of a cartesian coordinate system to points A, B, and C, respectively. Find a unit vector directed from point A toward: (a) the origin; (b) point B; (c) a point equidistant from B and C on the line BC. (d) Find the length of the perimeter of the triangle ABC.
