Question
Find the area of the parallelogram with vertices $ A (-3, 0), B (-1, 3), C (5, 2) $, and $ D (3, -1) $.
Step 1
The vector AB is found by subtracting the coordinates of A from B, and the vector AD is found by subtracting the coordinates of A from D. The vector AB is given by: \[ AB = B - A = (-1 - (-3), 3 - 0, 0) = (2, 3, 0) \] The vector AD is given by: \[ AD = D - A = Show more…
