To show that the four points with position vectors \( \vec{A} = 4\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} + 12\hat{k} \), \( \vec{B} = 2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 6\hat{k} \), \( \vec{C} = 3\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 4\hat{k} \), and \( \vec{D} = 5\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \) are coplanar, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the vectors \( \vec{AB} \), \( \vec{AC} \), and \( \vec{AD} \) 1. **Calculate \( \vec{AB} \)**: \[ \vec{AB} = \vec{B} - \vec{A} = (2\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}) - (4\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} + 12\hat{k}) = (-2\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} - 6\hat{k}) \] ...
