Answer:

Area = 71.3 sq unit

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We will use properties of parallelogram to verify the given vertices.

Property: Have a pair of parallel opposite sides

Hence, vectors AB AD BD BC CD AC. A pair should be parallel:

vectors

AB = A - B = (1, 1 , 3) - ( 2 , -5 , 6 ) = (-1 , 6 , -3)

AD = A - D = (1, 1 , 3) - (3, 4 , -4) = (-2 , -3 , 7)

BC = B - C = (2 , -5 , 6) - (4, -2 , -1) = (-2 ,-3 , 7)

CD = C - D = (4, -2 , -1) - (3, 4 , -4) = (1 , -6 , 3)

Hence we can see  that AB //CD and AD // BC as their unit vector co-efficents are identical/scalar multiple of each other.

b)

Equation of line AB = (1,1,3) + t*(-1 , 6 , -3 )

Point E = (1-t , 1+6t , 3 -3t) ... denotes an position of point E on line AB.

Choose a point on line CD, lets suppose C = ( 4 , -2 , -1 )

Vector EC = ( 1-t , 1+6t , 3-3t ) - (4 , -2 , -1 ) = (-3 -t , 3 +6t , 4 -3t)

For EC to be perpendicular to AB then dot product of AB . EC = 0

Hence,

EC . AB = -1 * (-3-t) -2*(3+6t) -3*(4-3t) = 0

3 + t -6 -12t -12+9t = 0

-2t-3 = 0

t = -3/2

Vector EC = (-3 -t , 3 +6t , 4 -3t) = (-1.5 , -6 , 8.5)

Area = magnitude (AB) * magnitude (EC)

Area = sqrt ((-1)^2 + 6^2 + (-3)^2) * sqrt ((-1.5)^2 + 6^2 + (8.5)^2)

Area = sqrt (46) * sqrt (442) / 2

Area = 71.3 unit^2

What does situation mean in math?
dimaraw [331]

Well, Branlycom,

In mathematical terms, situation usually means a synonym for the whole equation. (Keep in mind that synonym means "alike/same".)

The sum of three consecutive integers is −387. Find the three integers.
rjkz [21]

Answer: -130, - 129, - 128

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x+1 + x+2 = - 387

3x + 3 = - 387

3x = - 387 - 3

x = - 390/3

x = - 130

Find the value of x. 6 8 4 x
snow_tiger [21]
Answer:

3

Explanation:

4 is half of 8 on the right side, so that means X has to be half of 6, so it’s 3. Also, it couldn’t be 2 because it is too big, and it can’t be 4 because it isn’t the same length as the other 4, so it’s 3
