The question asks to find the magnitude (or squared magnitude) of a vector expression involving sums, differences, or linear combinations of given vectors.
Let $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \alpha\hat{j} + \beta\hat{k}$, $\alpha, \beta \in R$. Let a vector $\vec{b}$ be such that the angle between $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ is $\frac{\pi}{4}$ and $|\vec{b}|^2 = 6$. If $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 3\sqrt{2}$, then the value of $(\alpha^2 + \beta^2)|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|^2$ is equal to (1) 90 (2) 75 (3) 95 (4) 85
Let $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ be two vectors such that $|\vec{b}| = 1$ and $|\vec{b} \times \vec{a}| = 2$. Then $|(\vec{b} \times \vec{a}) - \vec{b}|^2$ is equal to (1) 3 (2) 5 (3) 1 (4) 4
Let $\vec { a } = 9 \hat { i } - 13 \hat { j } + 25 \hat { k } , \vec { b } = 3 \hat { i } + 7 \hat { j } - 13 \hat { k }$ and $\vec { c } = 17 \hat { i } - 2 \hat { j } + \hat { k }$ be three given vectors. If $\vec { r }$ is a vector such that $\vec { r } \times \vec { a } = ( \vec { b } + \vec { c } ) \times \vec { a }$ and $\vec { r } \cdot ( \vec { b } - \vec { c } ) = 0$, then $\frac { | 593 \vec { r } + 67 \vec { a } | ^ { 2 } } { ( 593 ) ^ { 2 } }$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$
It is known that a right triangle $\triangle A B C$ has side lengths $\overline { A B } = \sqrt { 7 }$, $\overline { A C } = \sqrt { 3 }$, $\overline { B C } = 2$. If isosceles triangles $\triangle M A B$ and $\triangle N A C$ with vertex angles equal to $120 ^ { \circ }$ are constructed outside $\triangle A B C$ using $\overline { A B }$ and $\overline { A C }$ as bases respectively, then $\overline { M N } ^ { 2 } =$ . (Express as a fraction in lowest terms)

In the Cartesian coordinate plane, vectors $\overrightarrow { \mathrm { u } _ { 1 } } = ( 3,4 )$ and $\overrightarrow { \mathrm { u } _ { 2 } } = ( 8 , - 6 )$ are given. For a vector $\vec { V }$ taken in this plane, the perpendicular projection vector onto the $\overrightarrow { u _ { 1 } }$ vector is 3 units, and the perpendicular projection vector onto the $\overrightarrow { u _ { 2 } }$ vector is 1 unit in length. Accordingly, what is the length of the $\vec { v }$ vector in units? A) $\sqrt { 5 }$ B) $\sqrt { 10 }$ C) $5 \sqrt { 5 }$ D) 5 E) 10
