Question 11 Find the area of the triangle whose two sides are represented by the vectors 2𝑖 ̂ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 −3𝑗 ̂ We know that Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 |(𝐴𝐵) ⃗ × (𝐴𝐶) ⃗ | Here, (𝐴𝐵) ⃗ = 2𝑖 ̂ and (𝐴𝐶) ⃗ = −3𝑗 ̂ (𝑨𝑩) ⃗ × (𝑨𝑪) ⃗ = |■8(𝑖 ̂&𝑗 ̂&𝑘 ̂@2&0&0@0&−3&0)| = 𝑖 ̂ [(0 × 0)−(−3 × 0)] − 𝑗 ̂[(2 × 0)−(0 × 0)] + 𝑘 ̂[(2 × −3)−(0 × 0)] = −6𝒌 ̂ Magnitude of (𝐴𝐵) ⃗ × (𝐴𝐶) ⃗ = |−6𝑘 ̂| = 6 So, area of triangle ABC = 1/2 |(𝐴𝐵) ⃗" × " (𝐴𝐶) ⃗ | = 1/2 × 6 = 3 square units
