Answer:

Verified

Area = 13.12 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given points / vertices of the parallelogram be represented as follows:

A(2,-1,1),

B(5, 1,4),

C(0,1,1),

D(3,3,4)

In vector notation, we can have;

A = 2i - j + k

B = 5i + j + 4k

C = 0i + j + k

D = 3i + 3j +4k

One of the ways to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram is to show that both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

(i) Now, let's find the various sides of the assumed parallelogram. These sides are:

AB = B - A = [5i + j + 4k] - [2i - j + k]            <em>open the brackets</em>

AB = 5i + j + 4k - 2i + j - k                            <em>collect like terms and solve</em>

AB = 5i - 2i + j  + j - k + 4k

AB = 3i + 2j+ 3k

BC = C - B = [0i + j + k] - [5i + j + 4k]            <em>open the brackets</em>

BC = 0i + j + k - 5i - j - 4k                             <em>collect like terms and solve</em>

BC = 0i - 5i + j  - j + k - 4k

BC = -5i + 0j - 3k

CD = D - C = [3i + 3j +4k] - [0i + j + k]            <em>open the brackets</em>

CD = 3i + 3j + 4k - 0i - j - k                             <em>collect like terms and solve</em>

CD = 3i - 0i + 3j  - j + 4k - k

CD = 3i + 2j + 3k

DA = A - D = [2i - j + k] - [3i + 3j +4k]            <em>open the brackets</em>

DA = 2i - j + k - 3i - 3j - 4k                             <em>collect like terms and solve</em>

DA = 2i - 3i  - j  - 3j + k - 4k

DA = - i - 4j - 3k

AC = C - A = [0i + j + k] - [2i - j + k]            <em>open the brackets</em>

AC = 0i + j + k - 2i + j - k                             <em>collect like terms and solve</em>

AC = 0i - 2i  + j  + j + k - k

AC = - 2i + 2j +0k

BD = D - B = [3i + 3j + 4k] - [5i + j + 4k]            <em>open the brackets</em>

BD = 3i + 3j + 4k - 5i - j - 4k                             <em>collect like terms and solve</em>

BD = 3i - 5i  + 3j  - j + 4k - 4k

BD = - 2i + 2j + 0k

(ii) From the results in (i) above, it has been shown that;

AB is equal to CD, and that implies that AB is parallel to CD. i.e

AB = CD => AB || CD

<em>Also,</em>

AC is equal to BD, and that implies that AC is parallel to BD. i.e

AC = BD => AC || BD

(iii) Therefore, ABDC is a parallelogram since its opposite sides are equal and parallel.

(B) Now let's calculate the area of the parallelogram.

To calculate the area, we find the magnitude of the cross product between any two adjacent sides.

In this case, we choose sides AC and AB.

Area = | AC x AB |

Where;

AC X AB = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\-2&2&0\\3&2&3\end{array}\right]

AC X AB = i(6 - 0) - j(-6 - 0) + k(-4 -6)

AC X AB = 6i + 6j - 10k

|AC X AB| = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2 + (-10)^2} \\

|AC X AB| = \sqrt{36 + 36 + 100} \\

|AC X AB| = \sqrt{172} \\

|AC X AB| = 13.12

Therefore the area is 13.12 square units.

astra-53 [7]
<span>Think about the cones with only 1 scoop of ice cream. Isn't it clear that there are 28 of those?
Now think about the two scoop cones. You have 28 choices for the first scoop and 28 choices for the second scoop.
So the number of possibilities is 28(28).
Now think of the 3 scoop cones.
You have 28 choices for the first scoop, 28 choices for the second scoop, and 28 choices for the third scoop or 28(28)(28) possibilities.
Add them all together and you have the total.

So it will be like this:
