Step-by-step explanation:
The missing figure is attached.
Notice in the first picture that Alberta has a complex shape.
You can calculate the area of a complex shape by decomposing it into polygons whose areas can be calculated easily.
Observe the second picture. Notice that it can be descompose into two polygons: A trapezoid and a rectangle.
The area of the trapezoid can be calcualted with the formula:
Where "h" is the height, "B" is the long base and "b" is short base.
And the area of the rectangle can be found with the formula:
Wkere "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.
Then, the apprximate area of Alberta is:
Substituting vallues, you get:
Therefore, the area of of Alberta is about .
The cross product of two vectors gives a third vector 
that is orthogonal to the first two.
Normalize this vector by dividing it by its norm:
To get another vector orthogonal to the first two, you can just change the sign and use
