Ye, but you need to know if there are any parallel sides, and angles help u tell this....

the pic doesnt give much....ther has to be more....

a) AB


Answer = y - x. Because AO = - x and OB = + y


b) AM


Answer = 1/2(y-x). Because AM = 1/2 AB




c)OM


Answer = OM
= OA + AM = (x) + 1/2(y-x) = 1/2(y+x)

I got a blackbelt in Maths/Physics... Oops, I meant degree! :up:

oh cool

this is what the question says:
In questions 1-10, each vector should be expressed in terms of x and y, where AO =x and OB =y.

1)
M is the mid-point of AB

Find:
a) AB
b) AM
c)OM

and the picture is below it

Can't figure out if it's a right angled triangle or a scalene traingle.

Can you post the numbers up sis?

I think only one side is parallel but i'm not sure, the pic is hazy.
