Problem

Let a=2i^−j^+k^\mathbf{a}=2\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k} and b=i^+3j^−2k^\mathbf{b}=\hat{i}+3\hat{j}-2\hat{k}. Define c=a+tb\mathbf{c}=\mathbf{a}+t\mathbf{b}, where t∈Rt\in\mathbb{R}. Find all real values of tt for which the area of the parallelogram having a\mathbf{a} and c\mathbf{c} as adjacent sides is 1010 square units.
