\mathbf a=(1,1,1)^\top=1\,\mathbf i+1\,\mathbf j+1\,\mathbf k
\mathbf b=(-2,3,0)^\top=-2\,\mathbf i+3\,\mathbf j
\mathbf a\times\mathbf b=\begin{vmatrix}\mathbf i&\mathbf j&\mathbf k\\1&1&1\\-2&3&0\end{vmatrix}=-3\,\mathbf i-2\,\mathbf j+5\,\mathbf k=(-3,-2,5)^\top

Basically, you're looking for a matrix \mathbf A such that

\mathbf A(\mathbf a\times\mathbf b)=\mathbf 0

i.e. a matrix \mathbf A whose nullspace with basis vector \mathbf a\times\mathbf b.

By the rank-nullity theorem, the rank of \mathbf A and the dimension of its nullspace must add up to the number of columns, so

\mathrm{rank}\mathbf A+\underbrace{\mathrm{null}\mathbf A}_1=3\implies\mathrm{rank}\mathbf A=2

One easy choice for a row would be \begin{bmatrix}1&1&1\end{bmatrix}, since

(1,1,1)(-3,-2,5)^\top=0

Now you only need to find another combination such that the second row of \mathbf A is independent of the first. An easy choice for this is to let the first element be 0, and the next be 1. Then the last element must be \dfrac25, as

\left(0,1,\dfrac25\right)(-3,-2,5)^\top=0

So,

\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1\\0&1&\frac25\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf A}\begin{bmatrix}-3\\-2\\5\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\end{bmatrix}

is one possible solution.

Two vertices of a polygon are (7, −18) and (7, 18) .
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

<h2 />

Step-by-step ex

He shows the formula to find it which is 360/n, where n is the number of sides of the regular polygon. He goes on further to explain the formula by taking an 18-sided regular polygon as example and computes its exterior angle as 360/18, which is 20 degrees
