Question

Find the volume of the parallelopiped whose coterminous edges are represented by the vectors:
(i) a =2i^+3j^+4k^, b =i^+2j^-k^, c =3i^-j^+2k^

(ii) a =2i^-3j^+4k^, b =i^+2j^-k^, c =3i^-j^-2k^

(iii) a =11i^, b =2j^, c =13k^

(iv) a =i^+j^+k^, b =i^-j^+k^, c =i^+2j^-k^

Solution

i Given:a=2i^+3j^+4k^b=i^+2j^-k^ c=3i^-j^+2k^We know that the volume of a parallelopiped whose three adjacent edges are a, b, c is equal to a bc. Here,a bc = 2 341 2-13-12 = 2 4-1-32+3+4-1-6 = -37Volume of the parallelopiped = a bc = -37 = 37 cubic units

ii Given:a=2i^-3j^+4k^b=i^+2j^-k^ c=3i^-j^-2k^We know that the volume of a parallelopiped whose three adjacent edges are a, b, c is equal to a bc. Here,a bc=2 -341 2-13-1-2 = 2 -4-1+3-2+3+4-1-6=-35Volume of the parallelopiped = a bc=-35 = 35 cubic units

iii Given:a=11i^b=2j^ c=13k^We know that the volume of a parallelopiped whose three adjacent edges are a, b, c is equal to a bc. Here,a bc = 11 000 200013 = 11 26-0-00-0+00-0 = 286Volume of the parallelopiped = a bc = 286 = 286 cubic units

iv Given:a=i^+j^+k^b=i^-j^+k c=i^+2j-k^We know that the volume of a parallelopiped whose three adjacent edges are a, b, c is equal to a bc. Here,a bc = 1 111 -1112-1 = 11-2-1-1-1+12+1=4Volume of the parallelopiped = a bc = 4 = 4 cubic units
