A,B,C,D are four points in the space and satisfy ∣vec(AB)∣=3,∣vec(BC)∣=7,∣vec(CD)∣=11 and ∣vec(DA)∣=9. Then vec(AC).vec(BD) is I know that vec(AB)+vec(BC)+vec(CA)+vec(AD)=0 and also I observed that ∣vec(AB)∣^2+∣vec(CD)∣^2=∣vec(BC)∣^2+∣vec(DA)∣^2. But couldn't get anything from it. Any hint?

A,B,C,D are four points in the space and satisfy A B = 3 , B C = 7 , C D = 11 and D A = 9. Then A C . B D is
I know that A B + B C + C A + A D = 0 and also I observed that
A B 2 + C D 2 =∣ B C 2 + D A 2 . But couldn't get anything from it. Any hint?
