To show that the vector \( \vec{AB} \) is perpendicular to the vector \( \vec{CD} \), we need to calculate both vectors and then find their dot product. If the dot product is zero, then the vectors are perpendicular. ### Step 1: Find the coordinates of vectors \( \vec{AB} \) and \( \vec{CD} \) 1. **Calculate \( \vec{AB} \)**: \[ \vec{AB} = \vec{B} - \vec{A} \] ...
