True or False. Explanations are required. 

### Vector Perpendicularity and Parallelism

In this section, we will explore the relationships between vectors in different dimensional spaces, specifically focusing on perpendicularity and parallelism.

#### (d) Perpendicular and Parallel Vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^2\)

- **Statement:** 

  Suppose \(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}\) are non-zero vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^2\), and \(\mathbf{a}\) is perpendicular to both \(\mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{c}\). Then \(\mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{c}\) are parallel.

#### (e) Perpendicular and Parallel Vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^4\)

- **Statement:** 

  Suppose \(\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}\) are non-zero vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^4\), and \(\mathbf{a}\) is perpendicular to both \(\mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{c}\). Then \(\mathbf{b}\) and \(\mathbf{c}\) are parallel.
