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

i. a = i + j + k, b = i - j + k, c = i + 2j - k

ii. a = -3i + 7j + 5k, b = -5i + 7j - 3k, c = 7i - 5j - 3k

iii. a = i - 2j + 3k, b = 2i + j - k, c = j + k

iv. a = 6i, b = 2j, c = 5k

Best answer

i. a = i + j + k, b = i - j + k, c = i + 2j - k

Given :

Coterminous edges of parallelopiped are \(\bar a, \bar b,\bar c\) where,

To Find : Volume of parallelepiped

Formulae :

1) Volume of parallelepiped :

If \(\bar a, \bar b,\bar c\) are coterminous edges of parallelepiped,

Where,

Then, volume of parallelepiped V is given by,

Answer :

Volume of parallelopiped with coterminous edges

= 1(-1) -1(-2) + 1(3) = -1+2+3 = 4

Therefore,

(Volume of parallelepiped = 4 cubic unit)

ii. a = -3i + 7j + 5k, b = -5i + 7j - 3k, c = 7i - 5j - 3k

Given :

Coterminous edges of parallelopiped are \(\bar a, \bar b,\bar c\) where,

To Find : Volume of parallelepiped

Formulae :

1) Volume of parallelepiped :

If \(\bar a, \bar b,\bar c\) are coterminous edges of parallelepiped,

Where,

Then, volume of parallelepiped V is given by,

Answer :

Volume of parallelopiped with coterminous edges

= -3(-36) -7(36) + 5(-24) = 108 – 252 – 120 = -264

As volume is never negative

Therefore,

(Volume of parallelepiped = 264 cubic unit)

iii. a = i - 2j + 3k, b = 2i + j - k, c = j + k

Given :

Coterminous edges of parallelopiped are \(\bar a, \bar b,\bar c\) where,

To Find : Volume of parallelepiped

Formulae :

1) Volume of parallelepiped :

If \(\bar a, \bar b,\bar c\) are coterminous edges of parallelepiped,

Where,

Then, volume of parallelepiped V is given by,

Answer :

Volume of parallelopiped with coterminous edges

= 1(2) +2(2) + 3(2) = 2 + 4 + 6 = 12

Therefore,

(Volume of parallelepiped = 12 cubic unit)

iv. a = 6i, b = 2j, c = 5k

Given :

Coterminous edges of parallelopiped are \(\bar a, \bar b,\bar c\) where,

To Find : Volume of parallelepiped

Formulae :

1) Volume of parallelepiped :

If \(\bar a, \bar b,\bar c\) are coterminous edges of parallelepiped,

Where,

Then, volume of parallelepiped V is given by,

Answer :

Volume of parallelopiped with coterminous edges

= 6(10) + 0 + 0 = 60

Therefore,

(Volume of parallelepiped = 60 cubic unit)
