Consider the following three points in R^3:
P(−2, 5, 1), Q(0, 3, 1), R(3, 3, 5)
and let a =P Q(vector),
b =P R (vector),
c =QR (vector)

(a) Calculate the following if possible, or explain why it is not possible to do so:
(i) a × b (ii) c × (a · b) (vi) (b × a) · c (vi) (a · b) · c
(b) Use the cross product to find the area of the triangle with vertices P, Q and R.

(i) a × b (ii) c × (a · b) (vi) (b × a) · c (vi) (a · b) · c
(b) Use the cross product to find the area of the triangle with vertices P, Q and R.

PR (vector) = [(Rx - Px), (Ry - Py), (Rz - Pz)] ..... now continue....

Please share your work with us ...

If you are stuck at the beginning tell us and we'll start with the definitions.
