Find the volume of the parallelepiped whose edges are represented by the vectors and

Scalar triple product geometrically represents the volume of the parallelepiped whose three coterminous edges are represented by .i.e. V =





∴ V = = 2(4 - 2) - ( - 3)(2 - ( - 3)) + 4( - 2 - 6) = 4 + 15 - 32 = | - 13| =
