\begin{vmatrix} \vec{a}\cdot \vec{a} & \vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}\\\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b} & \vec{b}\cdot \vec{b} \end{vmatrix}=16\Rightarrow \left | \vec{a} \right |^{2}\left | \vec{b} \right|^{2}-(\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b})^2=16

\Rightarrow \left | \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \right |^{2}=16\Rightarrow \left | \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \right |=4
