Question

If $\vec{a}$ , $\vec{b}$ , $\vec{c}$ are position vectors of the points A, B and C respectively, write the value of $\vec{A B} + \vec{B C} + \vec{A C} .$

Solution

Given: $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are the position vectors of $A, B, C$ respectively. Then,
$\vec{A B} = \vec{b} - \vec{a} \vec{B C} = \vec{c} - \vec{b} \vec{A C} = \vec{c} - \vec{a}$
Therefore,
$\vec{A B} + \vec{B C} + \vec{A C} = \vec{b} - \vec{a} + \vec{c} - \vec{b} + \vec{c} - \vec{a} = 2 (\vec{c} - \vec{a})$
