Let
The origin of coordinates the tree
r1 = vector position of the child 1.
r2 = vector position of the child 2
Child 1:
r1 = (12i + 12j)
Child 2:
r2 = (-18i + 11j)
The scalar product will be given by:
r1.r2 = ((12) * (- 18)) + ((12) * (11)) = - 84
The scalar product of their net displacements from the tree is -84m ^ 2
If you divide a number by 9 then you can also divide it by 3.
Answer: 3/4* 56, 0.75 * 56, 3 * 14 I just did the quiz on it
