Unit vector perpendicular to the plane of

\Delta ABC

with position vectors a, b, c of the vertices A, B, C is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

\frac{{a \times b + b \times c + c \times a}}{{2\Delta }}

Option B (

\frac{{a \times b + b \times c + c \times a}}{{2\Delta }}

) is correct because it represents the unit vector perpendicular to the plane of the triangle, normalized by twice the area of the triangle.
