Question 13:
If 𝑎⃗, 𝑏⃗⃗, 𝑐⃗ are unit vectors such that 𝑎⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑐⃗ = 0 , find the value of 𝑎⃗ ⋅ 𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗ ⋅ 𝑐⃗ + 𝑐⃗ ⋅ 𝑎⃗.

Answer 13:
2 2
|𝑎⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑐⃗| =(𝑎⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑐⃗). (𝑎⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑐⃗) = |𝑎⃗|2 + |𝑏⃗⃗| + |𝑐⃗|2 + 2(𝑎⃗ ⋅ 𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗ ⋅ 𝑐⃗ + 𝑐⃗ ⋅ 𝑎⃗)

⃗⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗ ⋅ 𝑐⃗ + 𝑐⃗ ⋅ 𝑎⃗)
⟹ 0 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2(𝑎⃗ ⋅ 𝑏
