مساحت مثلث $ABC$ برابر است با:
$\begin{align} & \overrightarrow{AB}=(2,0,1)-(1,-2,3)=(1,2,-2) \\ & \overrightarrow{AC}=(-3,2,1)-(1,-2,3)=(-4,4,-2) \\ & \overrightarrow{AB}\times \overrightarrow{AC}=\left| \begin{matrix} i \\ 1 \\ -4 \\\end{matrix}\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix} j \\ 2 \\ 4 \\\end{matrix}\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix} k \\ -2 \\ -2 \\\end{matrix} \right| \\ & =i\left| \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 4 \\\end{matrix}\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix} -2 \\ -2 \\\end{matrix} \right|-j\left| \begin{matrix} 1 \\ -4 \\\end{matrix}\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix} -2 \\ -2 \\\end{matrix} \right|+k\left| \begin{matrix} 1 \\ -4 \\\end{matrix}\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix} 2 \\ 4 \\\end{matrix} \right|=(4,10,12) \\ & ABC\,masahate\,\operatorname{mo}salas\,=\frac{1}{2}\left| \overrightarrow{AB}\times \overrightarrow{AC} \right|=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{{{4}^{2}}+{{10}^{2}}+{{12}^{2}}} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{260}=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{4\times 65}=\sqrt{65} \\ \end{align}$
