5. Relative to a fixed origin, the points \(A , B\) and \(C\) have position vectors ( \(2 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } + 6 \mathbf { k }\) ), \(( 5 \mathbf { i } - 4 \mathbf { j } )\) and \(( 7 \mathbf { i } - 6 \mathbf { j } - 4 \mathbf { k } )\) respectively.
- Show that \(A , B\) and \(C\) all lie on a single straight line.
- Write down the ratio \(A B : B C\)
The point \(D\) has position vector \(( 3 \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } + 4 \mathbf { k } )\).
- Show that \(A D\) is perpendicular to \(B D\).
- Find the exact area of triangle \(A B D\).
