Coplanarity
Vector of Class 12
Coplanarity
A given set of vectors is said to be co-planar if their line segments are all parallel to the same plane.
(a) If any one vector out of three non-zero vectors can be expressed as a linear combination of the other two is i.e. say
then they are coplanar
(b) Four points with position vectors will be coplanar if there exist four scalers x, y, z and w not all zero such that
and x + y + z + ω = 0
Geometrically it implies that the lines joining any two points intersect the line joining the other two points somewhere in space.
