    If\[|\overrightarrow{a}|=6,|\overrightarrow{b}|=8,|\overrightarrow{a}-\overrightarrow{b}|=10,\]then\[|a+b|\]is equal to:

    A)  10                         

    B)         24

    C)  40                         

    D)         36

    E)  20

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\because \]\[|\overrightarrow{a}-\overrightarrow{b}{{|}^{2}}={{\overrightarrow{a}}^{2}}+{{\overrightarrow{b}}^{2}}-2\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[100=36+64-2\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}=0\] \[\therefore \] \[|\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}{{|}^{2}}={{\overrightarrow{a}}^{2}}+{{\overrightarrow{b}}^{2}}+2\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}\] \[=36+64+0=100\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[|\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}|=10\]
