Question:medium

\(\vec a,\vec b,\vec c\) are the position vectors of three points \(A,B,C\) respectively. If \[ \angle ABC=\frac{\pi}{2}, \] and \[ \overrightarrow{AB} =\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+(4-\lambda)\hat{k}, \qquad \overrightarrow{AC} =(\lambda-1)\hat{i}+6\hat{j}+(2-\lambda)\hat{k}, \] then \(\lambda=\)

Show Hint

If the angle between two vectors is \(90^\circ\), then \[ \boxed{\vec u\cdot\vec v=0.} \] Always form the vectors from the vertex of the given angle before taking the dot product.
