Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{AB} = (2, -2, 1), \vec{BC} = (-1, -2, -2) \) \( |\vec{AB}|^2 = 2^2 + (-2)^2 + 1^2 = 9 \) \( |\vec{BC}|^2 = (-1)^2 + (-2)^2 + (-2)^2 = 9 \) \( \vec{AB} \cdot \vec{BC} = (2)(-1) + (-2)(-2) + (1)(-2) = -2 + 4 - 2 = 0 \) Triangle ABC is right-angled at B. Orthocentre…
