1. Find Volume of Parallelepiped determined by vectors
`A=(5,6,1)`, `B=(0,2,3)`, `C=(3,4,5)`Solution:Here `vec A=(5,6,1),vec B=(0,2,3),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` | `6` | `1` | | | `0` | `2` | `3` | | | `3` | `4` | `5` | |
|
`=5 xx (2 xx 5 - 3 xx 4) -6 xx (0 xx 5 - 3 xx 3) +1 xx (0 xx 4 - 2 xx 3)`
`=5 xx (10 -12) -6 xx (0 -9) +1 xx (0 -6)`
`=5 xx (-2) -6 xx (-9) +1 xx (-6)`
`= -10 +54 -6`
`=38`
2. Calculate parallelepiped volume
Volume `=38`
2. Find Volume of Parallelepiped determined by vectors
`A=(0,2,3)`, `B=(5,6,1)`, `C=(1,5,6)`Solution:Here `vec A=(0,2,3),vec B=(5,6,1),vec C=(1,5,6)`
Volume `=|vec A * (vec B xx vec C)|`
1. Calculate scalar triple product
`vec A * (vec B xx vec C)`
| = | | `0` | `2` | `3` | | | `5` | `6` | `1` | | | `1` | `5` | `6` | |
|
`=0 xx (6 xx 6 - 1 xx 5) -2 xx (5 xx 6 - 1 xx 1) +3 xx (5 xx 5 - 6 xx 1)`
`=0 xx (36 -5) -2 xx (30 -1) +3 xx (25 -6)`
`=0 xx (31) -2 xx (29) +3 xx (19)`
`= 0 -58 +57`
`=-1`
2. Calculate parallelepiped volume
Volume `=1`
