The area of the parallelogram whose adjacent sides are $\hat{i}+\hat{k}$ and $2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ is

Let $A=(\alpha, 1, 2\alpha)$,$B=(3, 1, 2)$ and $C=4\hat{i}-\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$. If $AB \times C = 6\hat{i}+9\hat{j}-5\hat{k}$,then $\alpha^2+\alpha+5=$

If the equation of a straight line passing through a point with position vector $a$ and parallel to the vector $b$ is $r = a + t\,b$,where $t$ is a parameter,then what is the perpendicular distance from this line to a point with position vector $c$?

For any two vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$,$|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|^2$ is equal to

If $2\vec{a} + 3\vec{b} + \vec{c} = \vec{0}$,then $\vec{a} \times \vec{b} + \vec{b} \times \vec{c} + \vec{c} \times \vec{a}$ is equal to

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are $\vec{a} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = 2\hat{i} - 7\hat{j} + \hat{k}$. Find its area.
