P(3,0,1),Q(1,2,5),R(5,1,1),S(0,4,2)
Find the vectors representing the 3 adjacent edges.
PQ=<13,20,51>=<4,2,4>
PR=<53,10,11>=<2,1,2>
PS=<03,40,21>=<3,4,1>
Volume of a parallelpiped
V=|PQ(PR×PS)|
Find cross product first
PR×PS=<1(1)(2)(4),(2)(3)(2)(1),2(4)(1)(3)<9,4,11>
Now the dor product
V=|PQ<9,4,11>|
=|4(9)+2(4)+4(11)|
=16
Result:
16units3
