उत्तर

The given vertices of the triangle ABC are A(3, –1, 2), B(1, –1, –3) and C(4, –3, 1)

`vec"OA" = 3hat"i" - hat"j" + 2hat"k"`

`vec"OB" = hat"i" - hat"j" - 3hat"k"`

`vec"OC" = 4hat"i" - 3hat"j" + hat"k"`

Area of ΔABC = `1/2 |vec"AB" xx vec"AC"|`

= `1/2 |vec"BA" xx vec"BC"|`

= `1/2 |vec"CA" xx vec"CB"|` 

`vec"AB" = vec"OB" - vec"OA"`

= `(hat"i" - hat"j" - 3hat"k") - (3hat"i" - hat"j" + 2hat"k")`

= `hat"i" - hat"j" - 3hat"k" - 3hat"i" + hat"j" - 2hat"k"`

`vec"AB" = -2hat"i" - 5hat"k"`

`vec"AC" = vec"OC" - vec"OA"`

= `(4hat"i" - 3hat"j" + hat"k") - (3hat"i" - hat"j" + 2hat"k")`

= `4hat"i" - 3hat"j" + hat"k" - 3hat"i" + hat"j" - 2hat"k"`

`vec"AC" = hat"i" - 2hat"j" - hat"k"`

`vec"AB" xx vec"AC" = |(hat"i", hat"j", hat"k"),(-2, 0, -5),(1, -2, -1)|`

= `hat"i"(0 - 10) - hat"j"(2 + 5) + hat"k"(4 - 0)`

= `-10hat"i" - 7hat"j" + 4hat"k"`

`|vec"AB" xx vec"AC"| = |-10hat"i" - 7hat"j" + 4hat"k"|`

= `sqrt((-10)^2 + (-7)^2 + 4^2`

= `sqrt(100 + 49 + 16)`

= `sqrt(165)`

Area of the triangle ABC = `1/2 |vec"AB" xx vec"AC"|`

= `1/2 xx sqrt(165)`
