7. Position vectors of two particles, A and B are given: A = 31 + 4j + 5k meters B = -4i + 2j - 7k meters Vector C is the position vector of particle C that is the cross product of vectors A and B (C = A x B). Together, particles A, B, and C become vertices of a triangular plane in space. What is the area of the triangle that is formed by the three particles?
