With two vectors a and b, we know that
Norm(CrossProduct(a, b)) = Norm(a)* Norm(b) * sin(a,b).
I tried with a := <1, 2, -2>; b := <2, 10, 11>; 

Note that a perpendicular to b and 

Norm(CrossProduct(a, b)) = Norm(a)* Norm(b)

I tried

restart;
with(VectorCalculus);
SetCoordinates(cartesian[x, y, z]);
a := <1, 2, -2>;
b := <2, 10, 11>;
Norm(a);
Norm(b);
v := CrossProduct(a, b);
Norm(v);

Are there two vectors a and b with integer coordinates and  not perpendicular,  so that Norm(a), Norm(b), Norm(CrossProduct(a, b)) are interger numbers satisfying
Norm(CrossProduct(a, b)) = Norm(a)* Norm(b) * sin(a,b).
