A triple product |
2016-10-03 |
|
From sam:
Let a and b are vectors such that
Vector a = (1,1,2)
Vector b = (2,-1,1)
And let vector c be a unit vector such that triple product of a,b,c is
minimum . We have to find the value of c.
[Thoughts]
I thought triple product of a b, c means the volume occupied by
parallelepiped. And we have to do volume minimum

Slicing a rectangular parallelepiped |
2011-02-23 |
|
From tom:
a) Pass a plane containing a vertex of a rectangular parallelepiped and a
diagonal of a face not containing that vertex to cut a pyramid from the
parallelepiped. What fraction of the volume of the parallelepiped is the
volume of the pyramid thus cut off?
b)Pass a plane through a cube of edge 8 in so that the section formed
will be a regular hexagon. Through each side of the hexagon pass two
planes, one plane containing one of the two vertices of the cube
which are farthest away from the plane of the hexagon, the other
plane containing the diagonally opposite vertex of the cube. Find the
volume of the solid bounded by these planes.
c)three of the edges of a rectangular parallelepiped that meet in a point
are also the lateral edges of a pyramid. What fraction of the parallelepiped
is this pyramid...?
you know the my only problem is how to illustrate this one...if only i
could ...can you help me....all I need is the drawing and I can do the rest
..it's fine if you'll only answer any of these but I'll be thankful if you
will do the three :)....

Area and volume of a parallelepiped |
2010-12-14 |
|
From ryan:
Got a question, I'm really confused what the question mean and how the diagram would look like... someone please help... Here's the question.
The base of a parallelepiped is a rectangle 4m by 6m. If its lateral edge is 8m and is inclined at an angle 45 degrees to a 6m edge of the base, find the total area and volume of its parallelepiped.
My dilemma is what does it mean by the lateral edge of 8m is inclined at 45 degrees to a 6m edge of the base? Can someone post a diagram to help me solve the promble. Thanks in advance.

A parallelepiped |
2004-09-25 |
|
From Aman:
" If OA, OB, and OC are three edges of a parallelepiped where O is (0,0,0), A is (2,4,-2), B is (3,6,1), and C is (4,0,-1), find the coordinates of the other vertices of the parallelepiped.)"
