Homework Equations
I would like to know how HallsofIvy (or anyone) arrived at the formula for the tetrahedron given the vertices (1,0,0), (0,2,0), (0,0,3).Ultimately I am to find the volume of this tetrahedron using triple integrals.
But I'm not worried about the integral as much as the setup:
The equation I get is 3 -3x -3/2y
not 1 -3x -3/2y
The Attempt at a Solution
I've taken two vectors from these points, taken their cross product, and created an equation of a plane. I am still getting my answer, and consequently an integral that doesn't seem right!-Dave K
