Find the area of a parallelogram whose adjacent sides are a = 3î + ĵ − 2k̂ and b = î − 3ĵ + 4k̂.
Find the area of a parallelogram whose adjacent sides are a = 3î + ĵ − 2k̂ and b = î − 3ĵ + 4k̂.
- A. 5√3
- B. 10√3
- C. 15
- D. √15
Answer: B) 10√3
Explanation: a × b = î(4 − 6) − ĵ(12 − (−2)) + k̂(−9 − 1) = −2î − 14ĵ − 10k̂. Magnitude = √(4 + 196 + 100) = √300 = 10√3 sq units.
