= Solution

The traversal fixes the <orientation> of the <vector area> as half the <cross product> of the edges $AB$ and $AC$:
$$
\mathbf S_{ABCA}=\frac12(1,1,0)^T\times(1,1,1)^T
=\boxed{\frac12(1,-1,0)^T}.
$$
Its <Euclidean norm> $1/\sqrt2$ is the <area> of the <triangle>, and its direction follows the <right-hand rule>.
