JEE Main 2024 (Online) 5th April Morning Shift Mathematics - Vector Algebra Question 20 English Explanation

Area of quadrilateral ABCD=A B C D= area of △ABC+\triangle A B C+ area of △ADC\triangle A D C

In △ABC\triangle A B C

amp;AB→=4,8,−8amp;BC→=−2,−3,−4amp;AB→×BC→=∣i^amp;j^amp;k^4amp;8amp;−8−2amp;−3amp;−4∣amp;=−56i^+32j^+4k^\begin{aligned}& \overrightarrow{A B}=4,8,-8 \\& \overrightarrow{B C}=-2,-3,-4 \\& \overrightarrow{A B} \times \overrightarrow{B C}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\4 & 8 & -8 \\-2 & -3 & -4\end{array}\right| \\& =-56 \hat{i}+32 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}\end{aligned}

Area of △ABC=12∣AB→×BC→∣\triangle A B C=\frac{1}{2}|\overrightarrow{A B} \times \overrightarrow{B C}|

amp;=12562+322+42amp;=124176=12292=629\begin{aligned}& =\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{56^2+32^2+4^2} \\& =\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{4176}=\frac{12 \sqrt{29}}{2}=6 \sqrt{29}\end{aligned}

In △ADC=AD→=−2,−3,−4\triangle A D C=\overrightarrow{A D}=-2,-3,-4

DC→=4,8,−8\overrightarrow{D C}=4,8,-8

AD→×DC→=∣i^amp;j^amp;k^−2amp;−3amp;−44amp;8amp;−8∣\overrightarrow{A D} \times \overrightarrow{D C}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ -2 & -3 & -4 \\ 4 & 8 & -8\end{array}\right|

=56i^−32j^−4k=56 \hat{i}-32 \hat{j}-4 k

 Area of 12∣AD→×DC→∣\text { Area of } \frac{1}{2}|\overrightarrow{A D} \times \overrightarrow{D C}|

amp;=124176amp;=629\begin{aligned}& =\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{4176} \\& =6 \sqrt{29}\end{aligned}

Area of ABCD=629+629A B C D=6 \sqrt{29}+6 \sqrt{29}

=1229=12 \sqrt{29}
