Let $A(2, 3, 0)$, $B(0, 3, 2)$ and $C(4, 0, 3)$ be the vertices of a triangle. Find the area of the triangle.

If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are the position vectors of the vertices of a triangle,show that $\frac{1}{2}[\vec{b} \times \vec{c}+\vec{c} \times \vec{a}+\vec{a} \times \vec{b}]$ gives the vector area of the triangle. Hence,deduce the condition that the three points $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are collinear. Also,find the unit vector normal to the plane of the triangle.
