Class 12 Maths · Vector Algebra · Short Answer #60

Find the area of a parallelogram with adjacent sides (1,−1,3) and (2,−7,1).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 15√2 square units.
  1. The area is |a × b|.
  2. Compute a × b = (20,5,−5), whose squared norm is 400 + 25 + 25 = 450.
  3. Thus the area is √450 = 15√2 square units.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] The area is |a × b|.
  • [1 mark] Compute a × b = (20,5,−5), whose squared norm is 400 + 25 + 25 = 450.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus the area is √450 = 15√2 square units.
