Answer

  1. $|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2-\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2$
Solution:
$\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2+\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$
$=\big(|\vec{\text{a}}|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\cos\theta\big)^2+\big(|\vec{\text{a}}|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\sin\theta\big)^2$
$=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2(\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta)$
$=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$ (1)
$=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$
$\therefore\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2-\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2$
Thus, the value of $\big(\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2$ is $|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2-\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2.$
