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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\) units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Plane vectors: \(\vec{u} = (3-2, -2-1, 4-0) = (1, -3, 4)\), \(\vec{v} = (1-2, -3-1, 3-0) = (-1, -4, 3)\) Normal vector: \(\vec{n} = \vec{u} \times \vec{v} = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 1 & -3 & 4 \\ -1 & -4 & 3 \end{vmatrix} = (7, -7, -7)\), simplified to \((1, -1, -1)\)
