Find the area of a parallelogram whose ...

Find the area of a parallelogram whose adjacent sides are given by the vectors ` -> a=3 hat i+ hat j+4 hat k`and ` -> b= hat i- hat j+ hat k`.

A

`sqrt(42)` sq units

B

6 sq units

C

`sqrt(35)`sq units

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(vec(a)xxvec(b))=|(hat(i),hat(j),hat(k)),(3,1,4),(1,-1,1)|=(1+4)hat(i)-(3-4)hat(j)+(-3-1)hat(k)=5hat(i)+hat(j)-4hat(k)`.
Required area `=|vec(a)xxvec(b)|=sqrt(25+1+16)=sqrt(42)`sq units.
