Example-1 Find the area of triangle ABC given A(-1,2,3), B(2,1,4) and C(0,5,-1)
Area of Parallelogram
Example-2 Calculate the area of parallelogram ABCD for A(-1, 2, 2), B(2, -1, 4) and C(0,1,0)
Volume of Parallelepiped
Triple Scalar Product a.(bxc) is known as triple scalar product.
Example-3: Let a = 2i+3j-k, b= 6i-3j+2k and c= 4i+3j-k, Find the Triple Scalar Product. (?????)
Example-4 Verify that the vector a = i+j+k is perpendicular to the cross product aXb where b = 2i-3j+k.
Question of the day!!!!!! Example-5 By making use of the vector product, derive the sine rule. Recall that Sine Rule:
