If $$A, B, C, D$$ are any four points in space, prove that -
$$\left| {\overrightarrow {AB} \times \overrightarrow {CD} + \overrightarrow {BC} \times \overrightarrow {AD} + \overrightarrow {CA} \times \overrightarrow {BD} } \right| = 4$$ (area of triangle $$ABC$$)

The position vectors of the points $$A, B, C$$ and $$D$$ are $$3\widehat i - 2\widehat j - \widehat k,\,2\widehat i + 3\widehat j - 4\widehat k,\, - \widehat i + \widehat j + 2\widehat k$$ and $$4\widehat i + 5\widehat j + \lambda \widehat k,$$
respectively. If the points $$A, B, C$$ and $$D$$ lie on a plane, find the value of $$\lambda .$$

$${A_1},{A_2},.................{A_n}$$ are the vertices of a regular plane polygon with $$n$$ sides and $$O$$ is its centre. Show that
$$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n - 1} {\left( {\overrightarrow {O{A_i}} \times {{\overrightarrow {OA} }_{i + 1}}} \right) = \left( {1 - n} \right)\left( {{{\overrightarrow {OA} }_2} \times {{\overrightarrow {OA} }_1}} \right)} $$

Find all values of $$\lambda $$ such that $$x, y, z,$$$$\, \ne $$$$(0,0,0)$$ and
$$\left( {\overrightarrow i + \overrightarrow j + 3\overrightarrow k } \right)x + \left( {3\overrightarrow i - 3\overrightarrow j + \overrightarrow k } \right)y + \left( { - 4\overrightarrow i + 5\overrightarrow j } \right)z$$
$$ = \lambda \left( {x\overrightarrow i \times \overrightarrow j \,\,y + \overrightarrow k \,z} \right)$$ where $$\overrightarrow i ,\,\,\overrightarrow j ,\,\,\overrightarrow k $$ are unit vectors along the coordinate axes.
