Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{a} = \hat{i}, \vec{b} = \hat{i}+\hat{j}\) Area \( = |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|\) \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{k}\) Area \( = |\hat{k}| = 1\)
