Find the area of the parallelogram whose adjacent sides are determined by the vectors $\vec{a}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b}=2\hat{i}-7\hat{j}+\hat{k}$.

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are the position vectors of the vertices of a triangle,show that $\frac{1}{2}[\vec{b} \times \vec{c}+\vec{c} \times \vec{a}+\vec{a} \times \vec{b}]$ gives the vector area of the triangle. Hence,deduce the condition that the three points $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are collinear. Also,find the unit vector normal to the plane of the triangle.
