Question

If the vectors $\mathrm{AB}=-3 \mathbf{i}+4 \mathbf{k}$ and $\mathrm{AC}=5 \mathbf{i}-2 \mathbf{j}+4 \mathbf{k}$ are the sides of a $	riangle A B C$, then the length of the median through $A$ is

$	herefore$ Position vector of $\mathrm{AD}$ $\begin{aligned} & =\frac{1(-3 \mathbf{i}+4 \mathbf{k})+1(5 \mathbf{i}-2 \mathbf{j}+4 \mathbf{k})}{1+1} \ & =\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}+4 \mathbf{k} \ & 	herefore|\mathrm{AD}|=\sqrt{1+1+16}=\sqrt{18}\end{aligned}$
