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 Coplanarity 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 Coplanarity 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.
