(c) Find a nonzero vector orthogonal to the plan
through the points P(0,-2,0),Q(4,1,-2), and
R(5,3,1), and its area.

Q1) Questions below will be emphasized on

vectors value findings.
(a) Find two unit vectors orthogonal to both
<3,2,1> and <-1,1,0>.

Q2) Vectors value can be further constructed into

specific formulae to figure out the volume of
itself. Figure below shows the association with the
finding of its volume.
(b) Find the area of the parallelogram with
vertices
A(-2,1), B(0,4), C(4,2) and D(2,-1).

(a) Find the volume of the parallelepiped determined
