Q3 of 51 Page 26

Find the volume of the parallelepiped whose coterminous edges are represented by the vectors:

Formula : -




Given: -



we know that the volume of parallelepiped whose three adjacent edges are



we have



now, using



= 11(26 – 0) + 0 + 0 = 286


therefore, the volume of the parallelepiped is
[a⃗ b⃗ c⃗] = |286| = 286 cubic unit.
