Rarely Tested

For $$\vec{a} = a_x \hat{i} + a_y \hat{j} + a_z \hat{k}$$:

$$|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{a_x^2 + a_y^2 + a_z^2}$$

Question 1

If $$\vec a=2\hat i-\hat j+2\hat k$$ and $$\vec b=\hat i+2\hat j-2\hat k,$$ then the value of $$\left|\left(\vec a\times\vec b\right)\times(\vec a+2\vec b)\right|^2$$ is ______.
