The image provides instructions for constructing and calculating various vector-related properties in a three-dimensional space. Below is a detailed breakdown of the tasks mentioned in the image.

### Part I: Activity Description and Steps
1. **Create a 3D coordinate system** on a suitable scale (20 cm) with a material of your choice, marking the axes with equal scales for both positive and negative directions. The origin and vector points should coincide with the vectors’ magnitudes.
   
2. **Points to create manually and in a model**:  
   - \( A(1,6,-8) \)  
   - \( B(-4,1,0) \)

3. **Steps:**
   - **Generate the vectors \( A \) and \( B \)**.
   - **Obtain the vector \( AB \)** by subtracting the coordinates of \( A \) from \( B \).
   - **Find the magnitude of vectors \( A \), \( B \), and \( AB \)**.
   - **Unit vectors** for \( A \), \( B \), and \( AB \).
   - **Angles \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \)** between the vectors \( A \), \( B \), and \( AB \).
   - **Angle between vectors \( A \) and \( B \)**.

### Part II: Quadrilateral and Vector Calculations
Given the vertices of the quadrilateral:
- \( A(10,4,0) \)
- \( B(4,12,2) \)
- \( C(4,8,14) \)
- \( D(10,0,12) \)

1. **Verify if the quadrilateral forms a parallelogram** using vector algebra.
2. **Calculate the area of the parallelogram** formed by vectors \( AB \) and \( AD \) using the cross product.
3. **Calculate the area of the parallelogram** formed by vectors \( CD \) and \( CB \).
4. **Find the angle between vectors \( AB \) and \( AD \)** using the dot product formula.
5. **Project vector \( AB \) onto the z-axis**.
6. **Calculate the volume of the parallelepiped** using the scalar triple product with vectors \( AB \), \( AD \), and another vector (most likely \( AC \)).
