4 The position vectors of three points \(A , B\) and \(C\) relative to an origin \(O\) are given respectively by and $$\begin{aligned} & \overrightarrow { O A } = 7 \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } - 3 \mathbf { k }
& \overrightarrow { O B } = 4 \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } - 4 \mathbf { k }
& \overrightarrow { O C } = 5 \mathbf { i } + 4 \mathbf { j } - 5 \mathbf { k } \end{aligned}$$
  1. Find the angle between \(A B\) and \(A C\).
  2. Find the area of triangle \(A B C\).
