Let c?  = b?  ,  a?  = a?  ,  OA?  = b?

Let OB?  be a unit vector perpendicular to both b and c. Hence c?  and a have the same direction

Now OC?  = bc n?  n?

= bc b? *c?  sin? θ = bc n?

Now sin? 90° )= a. (bc n?  ) = abccos n?  ? = abccos0° = abc = Volume of the parallelepiped

L ? = r ? * m v ?

= ( 3 i ^ ? j ^ ) * ( 3 j ^ + k ^ )

= 9 k ^ + 3 ( ? j ^ ) ? i ^

= ? i ^ ? 3 j ^ + 9 k ^

| L ? | = 1 + 9 + 8 1 = 9 1
