SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the normal vector of a triangle defined by the vertices (6, 0, 0), (6, 0, 2), and (6, 5, 2). The equation Ax + By + Cz = d is proposed as a method to find the normal vector. The user clarifies that they are interested in integrating a function over the area bounded by the triangle, rather than seeking an equation for the triangle itself. This highlights the importance of understanding the geometric properties of triangles in three-dimensional space.
