(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{c}}) \overline{\mathrm{b}}-(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}}) \overline{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{\overline{\mathrm{b}}}{2}-\frac{\overline{\mathrm{c}}}{2}
\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{1}{2}, \overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}}=\frac{1}{2}
\overline{\mathrm{b}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{1}{2}

(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \times \overline{\mathrm{b}}) \cdot(\overline{\mathrm{c}} \times \overline{\mathrm{d}})=\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot[\overline{\mathrm{b}} \times(\overline{\mathrm{c}} \times \overline{\mathrm{d}})]
=\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot[(\overline{\mathrm{b}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{d}}) \overline{\mathrm{c}}-(\overline{\mathrm{b}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{c}}) \overline{\mathrm{d}}]
=\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot[\overline{\mathrm{c}} / 2]
=\frac{1}{2}(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{c}})
=\frac{1}{4}
