If V is the volume of the parallelopiped having three coterminus edges as a , b and c , then the volume of the parallelopiped having three coterminus edge as aligned & =( a a ) a +( a b ) b +( a c ) c & =( a b ) a +( b b ) b +( b c ) c & =( a c ) a +( b c ) b +( c c ) c is aligned
Options
- AV^3
- B3 V
- CV^2
- D2 V
Correct answer
A. V^3
Step-by-step solution
We have, |[ a b c ]|=V Let V₁ be the volume of parallelopiped formed by the vectors , and . Then, V₁=|[ ]| V₁= | array lll a a & a b & a c a b & b b & b c a c & b c & c c array |[ a b c ] V₁=[ a b c ]^2[ a b c ] V₁=[ a b c ]^3 V₁=V^3
