1.1.40 Vector Algebra

Condition: Given the coordinates of the vertices of the pyramid \( A(4,2,3,) ; \quad B(-5 ;-4 ; 2) ; \quad C(5 ; 7 ;-4) \quad \) and \( D(6,4,-7) \). Find a) the volume of the pyramid; b) the area of ​​the section passing through the middle of the edge \(A D\) and the vertices \(B\) and \(C\); c) cosine of the angle between the edges \( D A \) and \( D C \).

Vector algebra is a branch of algebra that studies linear operations on vectors and their geometric properties. In the section you will find problems on the decomposition of vectors, scalar, vector and mixed products, coordinates of vectors in different bases and much more.
