The correct Answer is:
To find the volume of the parallelepiped whose concurrent edges are the diagonals of the faces of a given parallelepiped defined by the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: We know that the volume \(V\) of the original parallelepiped formed by the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) is given by the scalar triple product: \[ V = [\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}] \] 2. **Identifying the Diagonals**: The diagonals of the three faces of the parallelepiped can be expressed as: - Diagonal of the face formed by \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\): \(\vec{d_1} = \vec{a} + \vec{b}\) - Diagonal of the face formed by \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\): \(\vec{d_2} = \vec{b} + \vec{c}\) - Diagonal of the face formed by \(\vec{c}\) and \(\vec{a}\): \(\vec{d_3} = \vec{c} + \vec{a}\) 3. **Setting Up the Volume of the New Parallelepiped**: The volume \(V'\) of the new parallelepiped formed by the diagonals \(\vec{d_1}\), \(\vec{d_2}\), and \(\vec{d_3}\) can be calculated using the scalar triple product: \[ V' = [\vec{d_1}, \vec{d_2}, \vec{d_3}] \] 4. **Substituting the Diagonal Vectors**: Substitute the expressions for the diagonals: \[ V' = [\vec{a} + \vec{b}, \vec{b} + \vec{c}, \vec{c} + \vec{a}] \] 5. **Expanding the Scalar Triple Product**: Using the properties of the scalar triple product, we can expand this: \[ V' = [\vec{a} + \vec{b}, \vec{b} + \vec{c}, \vec{c} + \vec{a}] = [\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}] + [\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}] + [\vec{b}, \vec{c}, \vec{a}] + [\vec{c}, \vec{a}, \vec{b}] \] Each of the last three terms is equal to \(V\) because of the cyclic property of the scalar triple product. 6. **Calculating the Result**: Therefore, we have: \[ V' = V + V + V = 2V \] 7. **Final Answer**: The volume of the parallelepiped whose concurrent edges are the three diagonals of the faces of the given parallelepiped is: \[ \boxed{2V} \]
