Short Answer

Expert verified
The given points form a parallelogram, and its area is \(2\sqrt{2}\). So, the correct answer is (B) Parallelogram, \(2\sqrt{2}\).

Step by step solution

01

Find the vectors connecting points A, B, C, and D

First, let's find the vector AB, BC, CD, and DA: \(\overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{OB} - \overrightarrow{OA}\) \(\overrightarrow{BC} = \overrightarrow{OC} - \overrightarrow{OB}\) \(\overrightarrow{CD} = \overrightarrow{OD} - \overrightarrow{OC}\) \(\overrightarrow{DA} = \overrightarrow{OA} - \overrightarrow{OD}\)
02

Compute the vectors AB, BC, CD, and DA

Using the given coordinates of points A, B, C, and D, compute the vectors: \(\overrightarrow{AB} = (2-1, 3-1, 5-2) = (1, 2, 3)\) \(\overrightarrow{BC} = (1-2, 3-3, 4-5) = (-1, 0, -1)\) \(\overrightarrow{CD} = (0-1, 1-3, 1-4) = (-1, -2, -3)\) \(\overrightarrow{DA} = (1-0, 1-1, 2-1) = (1, 0, 1)\)
03

Calculate the cross product of vectors AB and BC, and CD and DA

Compute the cross products of the vectors AB and BC, and CD and DA: \(\overrightarrow{v_1} = \overrightarrow{AB} \times \overrightarrow{BC} = \begin{bmatrix} i & j & k \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ -1 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\) \(\overrightarrow{v_2} = \overrightarrow{CD} \times \overrightarrow{DA} = \begin{bmatrix} i & j & k \\ -1 & -2 & -3 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\)
04

Compute the cross products

Calculate the cross products: \(\overrightarrow{v_1} =(2(1) - 3(0), -1(-1) - 1(1), 1(0) - (-1)(2) ) = (2, 0, 2)\) \(\overrightarrow{v_2} =(-2(1) - (-3)(0), 1(1) - (-3)(1), (-1)(0) - 1(-2) ) = (-2, 4, 2)\) Since both cross products are not parallel, we can conclude that the quadrilateral formed by the given points is a parallelogram.
05

Compute the area of the parallelogram

To find the area of the parallelogram, we need to take the magnitude of one of the cross products and divide it by 2: Area = \(\frac{1}{2} \times ||\overrightarrow{v_1}||\) Area = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{2^2 + 0^2 + 2^2} = \frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{8}\) Area = \(2\sqrt{2}\) The given points form a parallelogram, and its area is \(2\sqrt{2}\). So, the correct answer is (B) Parallelogram, \(2\sqrt{2}\).
