ParallelepipedIn 3-D, a parallelepiped is a Prism whose faces are all Parallelograms. The volume of a 3-Dparallelepiped is given by the Scalar Triple Product
In -D, a parallelepiped is the Polytope spanned by Vectors , ..., in a Vector Space over the reals,
where for , ..., . In the usual interpretation, the Vector Space is taken asEuclidean Space, and the Content of this parallelepiped is given by
where the sign of the determinant is taken to be the ``orientation'' of the ``oriented volume'' of the parallelepiped.See also Prismatoid, Rectangular Parallelepiped, Zonohedron References
