MCQ

If $|\vec{a}|=2,|\vec{b}|=5$ and $|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|=8$, then $|\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}|$ is equal to :

A
$5$
B
$4$
✓
$6$
D
$3$

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$6$

c
$|\vec{a}|=2,|\vec{b}|=5$

$|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|=|\vec{a}||\vec{b}| \sin \theta=\pm 8$

$\sin \theta=\pm \frac{4}{5}$

$\therefore \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=|\vec{a}| \vec{b} \mid \cos \theta$

$=10 \cdot\left(\pm \frac{3}{5}\right)=\pm 6$

$|\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}|=6$
