| | A parallelepiped (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06) |
 | | I'm taking a university math course (Geometry and Discrete math) The question is: " If OA, OB, and OC are three edges of a parallelepiped where O is (0,0,0), A is (2,4,-2), B is (3,6,1), and C is (4,0,-1), find the coordinates of the other vertices of the parallelepiped.)" (Crippin, page 173). |
 | | Look at a cardboard box and imagine that one of the corners is O and the ends of the three edges that start at that corner are A, B and C. This is a rectangular parallelepiped but it is an approximate model of what you have. |
 | | I see the three edges of the parallelepiped OA, OB and OC as vectors from O to the other three points. |
