Question 59

A quadrilateral has vertices AAA, BBB, CCC and DDD with position vectors given by

OA→=[2−14],OB→=[523],OC→=[805] and OD→=[5−36] \overrightarrow{OA} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -1 \\ 4 \end{bmatrix}, \overrightarrow{OB} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}, \overrightarrow{OC} = \begin{bmatrix} 8 \\ 0 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix} \text{ and } \overrightarrow{OD} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ -3 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix} OA=​2−14​​,OB=​523​​,OC=​805​​ and OD=​5−36​​
