The parallelepiped is determined by vectors $\vec{a} = -2\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$, $\vec{b} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}$, and $\vec{c} = -3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$. The altitude of the parallelepiped on the parallelogram base determined by vectors $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ is

  • A
    $2\sqrt{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{2}$
  • C
