To find the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the unit vectors \(\hat{a}\), \(\hat{b}\), and \(\hat{c}\) with the given dot products, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Volume Formula The volume \(V\) of a parallelepiped defined by three vectors \(\hat{a}\), \(\hat{b}\), and \(\hat{c}\) is given by the scalar triple product: \[ V = |\hat{a} \cdot (\hat{b} \times \hat{c})| \] Since the edges are of unit length, we can assume \(|\hat{a}| = |\hat{b}| = |\hat{c}| = 1\). ...
