Homework Statement
Find the volume of the parallelepiped with adjacent edged PQ, PR, and PS.
P (-2,1,0)
Q (2,3,2)
R (1,4,-1)
S (3,6,1)
Homework Equations
Volume = PQ . (PR x PS)
The Attempt at a Solution
I first found the vectors PQ, PR and PS. Then I did the cross product of PR x PS and then did the dot product of PQ (dot) PR x PS. I got an answer of 6, but the answers in the back of the book says 16. Did I do it wrong? or is the book wrong?
