If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 \\ 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$, then the matrix AB is equal to

The area (in sq. units) of the triangle whose vertices are $(0, 0)$, $(a, 0)$, $(0, b)$, is equal to

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -3 & 4 \\ -3 & 5 & x \\ 4 & 3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is a symmetric matrix and $B = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -10 \\ -2 & z & 6 \\ y & -6 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is a skew-symmetric matrix, then the value of $(xy + yz + zx)$ is
