Find the area of the parallelogram whose diagonals are :
and ![]()
Given two diagonals of a parallelogram are
and![]()
Let
and![]()
Recall the area of the parallelogram whose diagonals are given by the two vectors
and
is
where

Here, we have (a1, a2, a3) = (2, 3, 6) and (b1, b2, b3) = (3, –6, 2)

![]()
![]()
![]()
Recall the magnitude of the vector
is
![]()
Now, we find
.
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus, area of the parallelogram is 24.5 square units.
