3
- 4 \end{array} \right) , \quad \overrightarrow { O B } = \left( \begin{array} { r } 2
- 3
5 \end{array} \right) , \quad \overrightarrow { O C } = \left( \begin{array} { r } 4
- 2
5 \end{array} \right) \quad \text { and } \quad \overrightarrow { O D } = \left( \begin{array} { r } 2
2
- 1 \end{array} \right) .$$
  1. Show that \(A B\) is perpendicular to \(B C\).
  2. Show that \(A B C D\) is a trapezium.
  3. Find the area of \(A B C D\), giving your answer correct to 2 decimal places.
