Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram such that $\vec{AB} = \vec{q}$ and $\vec{AD} = \vec{p}$,and $\angle BAD$ is an acute angle. If $\vec{r}$ is the vector that coincides with the altitude directed from the vertex $B$ to the side $AD$,then $\vec{r}$ is given by:

  • A
    $\vec{r} = 3\vec{q} - \frac{3(\vec{p} \cdot \vec{q})}{(\vec{p} \cdot \vec{p})}\vec{p}$
  • B
    $\vec{r} = -\vec{q} + \frac{(\vec{p} \cdot \vec{q})}{(\vec{p} \cdot \vec{p})}\vec{p}$
  • C
    $\vec{r} = \vec{q} - \frac{(\vec{p} \cdot \vec{q})}{(\vec{p} \cdot \vec{p})}\vec{p}$
  • D
    $\vec{r} = -3\vec{q} - \frac{3(\vec{p} \cdot \vec{q})}{(\vec{p} \cdot \vec{p})}\vec{p}$
