    Calculating area of a parallelogram defined by 2 vectors

    so I should have = 3i - 6j + 24k? I can't see how to get an area from the vectors.

    Find B given distance and direction from vector A

    The question is stated exactly as I have typed it here; I find the way it's worded is confusing. I've just updated to correct an error - the first component of the vector C should be "2" so it's the same as the first component of the vector A.

    Calculating area of a parallelogram defined by 2 vectors

    Homework Statement "Find the area of a parallelogram defined by the two vectors P=(4,-10,3) and Q=(2,1,0)" Homework Equations The area of the parallelogram is equal to the magnitude of the cross product of the two vectors? i.e. Area = |PXQ| The Attempt at a Solution PXQ =...
