Let \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}=\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=\hat{\mathrm{i}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-3 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\) be two vectors. If \(A_1\) is the area of the quadrilateral having \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}\) as its diagonals and \(A_2\) is the area of the parallelogram having \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}\) as its two adjacent sides, then \(\mathrm{A}_1 \cdot \mathrm{A}_2=\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 26

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b}=\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\) \(A_1=\) Area of the quadrilateral having \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}\) as diagonals \(A_1=\frac{1}{2}|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|\) Now,…
