Let a and b be positive real numbers. Suppose PQ=ai^+bj^
and PS=ai^−bj^ are adjacent sides of a parallelogram PQRS.
Let u and v be the projection vectors of w=i^+j^ along PQ
and PS, respectively. If ∣u∣+∣v∣=∣w∣ and if the area of the
parallelogram PQRS is 8, then which of the following
statements is/are TRUE?
Answers:B. a−b=2 · C. The length of the diagonal PR of the parallelogram PQRS is 4 · D. w is an angle bisector of the vectors PQ and PS
