\end{figure} The points \(A , B\) and \(C\) have position vectors \(\mathbf { a } , \mathbf { b }\) and \(\mathbf { c }\) respectively, relative to a fixed origin \(O\), as shown in Figure 1. It is given that $$\mathbf { a } = \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } , \quad \mathbf { b } = 3 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } + \mathbf { k } \quad \text { and } \quad \mathbf { c } = 2 \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } - \mathbf { k } .$$ Calculate
  1. \(\mathbf { b } \times \mathbf { c }\),
  2. a.(b \(\times \mathbf { c ) }\),
  3. the area of triangle \(O B C\),
  4. the volume of the tetrahedron \(O A B C\).
