Math vector product area?
Hello, I have a question about a math problem on the application of the vector product.
If the points span a parallelogram, then I understand why it's true. But what if the four points span any surface, for example, without parallel sides? Does this still hold? The problem doesn't necessarily assume a parallelogram.

No, this applies only to parallelograms. Note: Rectangles are also parallelograms.
Ps: this is not a spat product.
Okay, thanks. Is there an explanation?
A parallelogram can be clearly defined by 2 vectors. This does not apply to other 4 corners.
