a=AD^(→) =(−1,5,4)  b=BD^(→) =(−3,3,−1)  c=CD^(→) =(−2,2,3)  V=((∣a×b∙c∣)/6)  V=(1/6) determinant (((−1),5,4),((−3),3,(−1)),((−2),2,3))=((44)/6)=((22)/3)
$$\boldsymbol{{a}}=\overset{\rightarrow} {{AD}}=\left(−\mathrm{1},\mathrm{5},\mathrm{4}\right) \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{b}}=\overset{\rightarrow} {{BD}}=\left(−\mathrm{3},\mathrm{3},−\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{c}}=\overset{\rightarrow} {{CD}}=\left(−\mathrm{2},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3}\right) \\ $$$${V}=\frac{\mid\boldsymbol{{a}}×\boldsymbol{{b}}\centerdot\boldsymbol{{c}}\mid}{\mathrm{6}} \\ $$$${V}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}}\begin{vmatrix}{−\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{5}}&{\mathrm{4}}\\{−\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{3}}&{−\mathrm{1}}\\{−\mathrm{2}}&{\mathrm{2}}&{\mathrm{3}}\end{vmatrix}=\frac{\mathrm{44}}{\mathrm{6}}=\frac{\mathrm{22}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

V =(1/6) determinant ((2,(−1),(−3),1),(4,1,3,1),(3,2,(−1),1),(1,4,2,1))=((22)/3)
$${V}\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}}\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{2}}&{−\mathrm{1}}&{−\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{4}}&{\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{2}}&{−\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{4}}&{\mathrm{2}}&{\mathrm{1}}\end{vmatrix}=\frac{\mathrm{22}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
