The diagram shows a trapezium ABCD in which BA is parallel to CD. The position vectors of A, B, and C relative to an origin O are given by

\(\overrightarrow{OA} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \quad \overrightarrow{OB} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}, \quad \text{and} \quad \overrightarrow{OC} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 5 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}.\)

  1. Use a scalar product to show that AB is perpendicular to BC.
  2. Given that the length of CD is 12 units, find the position vector of D.
