The points \(A, B\) and \(C\) have position vectors \(\mathbf{i}+2 \mathbf{j}+2 \mathbf{k}, 2 \mathbf{i}+4 \mathbf{j}+5 \mathbf{k}\) and \(2 \mathbf{i}+3 \mathbf{j}+4 \mathbf{k}\) respectively. Find \(\overrightarrow{A B} \times \overrightarrow{A C}\).

Deduce, in either order, the exact value of
(i) the area of the triangle \(A B C\),
(ii) the perpendicular distance from \(C\) to \(A B\).
