23
Explanation
Concept:
The volume of the parallelepiped determined by a, b and c is
Volume =a⋅(b×c)=</span><spanstyle="font−size:14pt;">a1b1c1amp;a2amp;b2amp;c2amp;a3amp;b3amp;c3
Calculation:
Parallelepiped determined by:
u=i^+2j^−k^
v=−2i^+3k^
w=7j^−4k^
Volume=1−20amp;2amp;0amp;7amp;−1amp;3amp;−4
⇒Volume=∣1(0−21)−2(8−0)+(−1)(−14−0)∣
⇒Volume=∣−23∣=23 units
