1. Find Volume of Parallelepiped determined by vectors
`A=(1,2,3)`, `B=(3,0,6)`, `C=(7,1,9)`Solution:Here `vec A=(1,2,3),vec B=(3,0,6),vec C=(7,1,9)`
Volume `=|vec A * (vec B xx vec C)|`
1. Calculate scalar triple product
`vec A * (vec B xx vec C)`
| = | | `1` | `2` | `3` | | | `3` | `0` | `6` | | | `7` | `1` | `9` | |
|
`=1 xx (0 xx 9 - 6 xx 1) -2 xx (3 xx 9 - 6 xx 7) +3 xx (3 xx 1 - 0 xx 7)`
`=1 xx (0 -6) -2 xx (27 -42) +3 xx (3 +0)`
`=1 xx (-6) -2 xx (-15) +3 xx (3)`
`= -6 +30 +9`
`=33`
2. Calculate parallelepiped volume
Volume `=33`
2. Find Volume of Parallelepiped determined by vectors
`A=(5,-1,1)`, `B=(-2,3,4)`, `C=(3,4,5)`Solution:Here `vec A=(5,-1,1),vec B=(-2,3,4),vec C=(3,4,5)`
Volume `=|vec A * (vec B xx vec C)|`
1. Calculate scalar triple product
`vec A * (vec B xx vec C)`
| = | | `5` | `-1` | `1` | | | `-2` | `3` | `4` | | | `3` | `4` | `5` | |
|
`=5 xx (3 xx 5 - 4 xx 4) +1 xx (-2 xx 5 - 4 xx 3) +1 xx (-2 xx 4 - 3 xx 3)`
`=5 xx (15 -16) +1 xx (-10 -12) +1 xx (-8 -9)`
`=5 xx (-1) +1 xx (-22) +1 xx (-17)`
`= -5 -22 -17`
`=-44`
2. Calculate parallelepiped volume
Volume `=44`
