The volume of a tetrahedron is 1 6 of the volume of a parallelepiped whose sides are formed using the vectors coming out of one

corner of the tetrahedron. Find the volume of the tetrahedron with corners at (1, 1, 1), (1, 5, 5), (2, 1, 3), and (2, 2, 1).

Answer: The volume of the tetrahedron is 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = (1, 1, 1)

B = (1, 5, 5)

C = (2, 2, 1)

The volume of a tetrahedron is given as

V = (1/6)|AB, AC, AD|

Where |AB, AC, AD| is the determinant of the matrix of AB, AC, AD.

We need to determine AB, AC, and AD

Suppose A = (a1, a2, a3)

B = (b1, b2, b3)

C = ( c1, c2, c3)

AB = ( b1 - a1, b2 - a2, b3 - a3)

Similarly for AB, AC, BC, etc.

AB = (1 - 1, 5 - 1, 5 - 1)

= (0, 4, 4)

AC = (1, 0, 2)

AD = (1, 1, 0)

Volume =

(1/6) |0 4 4|

|1 0 2|

|1 1 0|

= (1/6)[0(0 - 2) - 4(0 - 2) + 4(1 - 0)

= (1/6)(0 + 8 - 4)

= (1/6)(12)

V = 12/6 = 2 units

What is the solution of the system of equations shown in the graph?
Rudiy27

Answer:

The solution of the system of equations shown in the graph is (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easy

You just look for the point of intersections the lines make.

The point is on the number 2  on the x axis, and number 0 on the y axis. Therefore its (2,0).

Happy to help!

Pls help just please will mark BRAINLIEST
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

44.2545

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the third angle by taking 180-(90+55)=a

a=35

use law of sines

Sin(angle)/(opposite side of angle)=Sin(another angle)/(opposite side of another angle)

so, sin(a)/A=sin(b)/B

sin(35)/33=sin(55)/x

x=sin(55)/(sin(35)/33)

x=44.2545

Hope this helps :)
