First find any two vectors in the plane, and take their cross product. The cross product will be perpendicular to both of them.

To find any vectors in the plane, take any two of the given points at a time, and treating them as vectors, subtract them. These vector differences are parallel to the plane we want to find.

(-3, 1, -2) - (-6, -10, -4) = (3, 11, 2)

(-3, 1, -2) - (15, 5, 20) = (-18, -4, -22)

Take the cross product to get the normal vector to the plane:

(3, 11, 2) x (-18, -4, -22) = (-234, 30, 186)

Let (x, y, z) be any point on the plane. The vector

(x, y, z) - (-3, 1, -2) = (x + 3, y - 1, z + 2)

runs parallel to the plane, so it's perpendicular to the plane's normal, which means their dot product is 0. This gives us the Cartesian equation for the plane,

(-234, 30, 186) • (x + 3, y - 1, z + 2) = 0

-234(x + 3) + 30(y - 1) + 186(z + 2) = 0

-234x + 30y + 186 = 360

Every coefficient has a GCD of 6, so the equation is equivalent to

-39x + 5y + 31z = 60

Finally - and this is the easiest step - write this in parametric form. Let x = s and y = t, then

z = (60 + 39s - 5t)/31

So the plane can be parameterized by

P(s, t) = (s, t, (60 + 39s - 5t)/31)

where s and t are any real numbers.

The Window has the shape of a kite. How many square meters of glass were used to make the Window
Elan Coil [88]

The window that has the shape of a kite has the area of the glass as 648 centimetre squared.

<h3>What is area of a figure?</h3>

Area can be defined as the space occupied by a flat shape or the surface of an object. Therefore,

The window is the shape of a kite. Therefore, the square meters of the glass used for the window is the area of the window(kite).

Therefore,

area of kite = ab / 2

where

  • a and b are the length of the diagonal

Therefore,

a = 18 + 18 = 36 cm

b = 15 + 21 = 36 cm

area of the window = 36 × 36 / 2 = 1296 / 2 = 648 cm²
