Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 6: Finding the Area of a Parallelogram**
*Objective*: Calculate the area of the parallelogram defined by the given vertices.
*Vertices*:
1. Point A: (1, 1)
2. Point B: (2, 3, 4)
3. Point C: (6, 5, 2)
4. Point D: (7, 7, 5)
*Instructions*:
To find the area of a parallelogram in three-dimensional space given vertices, use the following steps:
1. **Identify the vectors representing the sides of the parallelogram.**
- Use the coordinates of the vertices to determine two vectors along adjacent sides of the parallelogram.
2. **Calculate the cross product of the vectors.**
- The cross product of two vectors gives a vector that is perpendicular to the plane containing the original vectors. The magnitude of this vector is equal to the area of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors.
3. **Determine the magnitude of the cross product vector.**
- The formula for the magnitude of a vector \( \mathbf{v} = \langle a, b, c \rangle \) is \( \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2} \).
By solving these steps, you can find the area of the parallelogram defined by the given points.
