The volume (in cubic units) of the tetrahedron with edges i + j + k , i - j + k and i +2 j - k is
Options
- A4
- B2 / 3
- C1 / 6
- D1 / 3
Correct answer
B. 2 / 3
Step-by-step solution
We know that, volume of tetrahedron aligned & = 1 6 [ A B A C A D ] & = 1 6 | array ccc 1 & 1 & 1 1 & -1 & 1 1 & 2 & -1 array | aligned aligned & = 1 6 [1(1-2)-1(-1-1)+1(2+1)] & = 1 6 [-1+2+3] & = 4 6 = 2 3 aligned
