The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the expression for \( OP \cdot OQ \cdot \sin(\angle POQ) \) where \( O \) is the origin, and \( P(x_1, y_1) \) and \( Q(x_2, y_2) \) are two points. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Vectors**: - The vector \( \vec{OP} \) from the origin \( O(0, 0) \) to the point \( P(x_1, y_1) \) can be expressed as: \[ \vec{OP} = x_1 \hat{i} + y_1 \hat{j} \] - The vector \( \vec{OQ} \) from the origin \( O(0, 0) \) to the point \( Q(x_2, y_2) \) can be expressed as: \[ \vec{OQ} = x_2 \hat{i} + y_2 \hat{j} \] 2. **Cross Product of the Vectors**: - The magnitude of the cross product \( \vec{OP} \times \vec{OQ} \) gives us the area of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors, which is also equal to \( OP \cdot OQ \cdot \sin(\angle POQ) \). - The cross product in two dimensions can be calculated using the determinant: \[ \vec{OP} \times \vec{OQ} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} \\ x_1 & y_1 \\ x_2 & y_2 \end{vmatrix} \] - This determinant simplifies to: \[ \vec{OP} \times \vec{OQ} = x_1y_2 - x_2y_1 \] 3. **Magnitude of the Cross Product**: - The magnitude of the cross product is: \[ |\vec{OP} \times \vec{OQ}| = |x_1y_2 - x_2y_1| \] 4. **Final Expression**: - Therefore, we have: \[ OP \cdot OQ \cdot \sin(\angle POQ) = |x_1y_2 - x_2y_1| \] ### Conclusion: The value of \( OP \cdot OQ \cdot \sin(\angle POQ) \) is given by: \[ |x_1y_2 - x_2y_1| \]
