The volume of the tetrahedron formed by the points (1,1,1),(2,1,3)(3,2,2) and (3,3,4) in cubic units is
Options
- A5 6
- B6 5
- C5
- D2 3
Correct answer
A. 5 6
Step-by-step solution
Let A(1,1,1), B(2,1,3), C(3,2,2) and D(3,3,4) . So, A B = i +2 k , A C =2 i + j + k and A D =2 i +2 j +3 k aligned & Volume of tetrahedron = 1 6 [ array lll 1 & 0 & 2 2 & 1 & 1 2 & 2 & 3 array ] & = 1 6 |1(3-2)+0(6-2)+2(4-2)| &= 1 6 (1+0+4)= 5 6 cubic units aligned
