a)Given:
V=R2,W=R3
Since R2 is 2-dimensional vector space and R3 is 3-dimensional vector space, thus, U is isomorphic to M32.
Hence, the dimension of U is 6.
b) Given:
V=P2,W=P1
Since we know that P2 is the vector space of polynomial of degree 2.
Also, it is 3-dimensional vector space
And P1 polynomial of degree 1 and it is 2-dimensional vector space, thus, U is isomorphic to M23
Hence, the dimension of U is 6.

c) Given:
V=M21,W=M32
Since, we know that M21 is a vector space of all 2×1 matrices and it is 2- dimensional vector space and M32 is the vector space of all 3×2 matrices and it is 6- dimensional vector space.
Hence, the dimension of U is 12.
d) Given:
V=R3,W=R4
Since, R3 is a 3- dimensional vector space and R4 is a 4- dimensional vector space.
Thus, U is isomorphic to M43.
Hence, the dimension of U is 12.
