What is the relationship between the volumes of the tetrahedron defined by the vectors

[a1a21],[b1b21],[c1c21]

and the area of the triangle with vertices

[a1a2],[b1b2],[c1c2]?

See Exercises 4 and 5. Explain this relationship geometrically. Hint: Consider the top face of the tetrahedron.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore, therelationship between volume of tetrahedron and area of triangle is given by,

V2=3V1

Step by step solution

01

Definition.

Area of the triangle:

Basically, it is equal to half of the Area of the parallelogram.

The area of a triangle is defined as the total region that is enclosed by the three sides of any particular triangle.

A=1/2bh

Area of tetrahedrons:

It is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners.

It is also known as a triangular pyramid.

General formula of the volume of the tetrahedrons is

V=1/3(areaofbase)(perpendicularheight)

02

To find the relationship between volume of tetrahedron and area of triangle.

From what we know from ex. 5, the area of a tetrahedron defined by

a1a21,b1b21,c1c21

Is

role="math" localid="1660721138671" V1=16deta1b1c1a2b2c2111V1=16(b1c2-c1b2)-(a1c2-c1a2)+(a1b2-b1a2)

On the other hand, the area of a triangle with vertices

a1a2,b1b2,c1c2

Is

V2=12detb1-a1c1-a1b2-a2c2-a2V2=12b1c2-a2b1-a1c2-b2c1+a1b2+a2c1

Therefore,

V2=3V1
