The area (in sq. units) of a triangle formed by vertices \(O, A\), and \(B\) where \(\overrightarrow{O A}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) and \(\overrightarrow{O B}=-3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\) is

  1. A \(3 \sqrt{5}\)
  2. B \(4 \sqrt{5}\)
  3. C \(6 \sqrt{5}\)
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 \sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{OA} \times \vec{OB} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ -3 & -2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = (2 - (-6))\hat{i} - (1 - (-9))\hat{j} + (-2 - (-6))\hat{k} = 8\hat{i} - 10\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}\)…
