If    a   ,   b   ,   c determine the vertices of a triangle, show that 1 2 (   b   *     c +   c   *   a + a   *   b   )   gives the a   ,   b   ,   c vector area of the triangle. Hence deduce the condition that the three points are collinear. Also, find the unit vector normal to the plane of the triangle.

It's difficult but in some colleges you may can get 

  a + 5 b  is collinear with c  

  a + 5 b = c           …(1)

b + 6 c is collinear with a  

⇒   b + 6 c = μ a               …(2)

From (1) and (2)

  b + 6 c = μ ( λ c 5 b )          

-> ( 1 + 5 μ ) b + ( 6 λ μ ) c = 0
