The vertices of this tetrahedron are A ( 0 , 1 , 0 ) , B ( 2 , 1 , 0 ) , C ( 1 , 0 , 2 ) and D ( 1 , 2 , 2 ) . Thus the volume of the tetrahedron is the modulus of 6 1 A D ⋅ ( A B × A C ) = 6 1 ⎝ ⎛ 1 1 2 ⎠ ⎞ ⋅ ⎝ ⎛ ⎝ ⎛ 2 0 0 ⎠ ⎞ × ⎝ ⎛ 1 − 1 2 ⎠ ⎞ ⎠ ⎞ = 6 1 ⎝ ⎛ 1 1 2 ⎠ ⎞ ⋅ ⎝ ⎛ 0 − 2 2 − 2 ⎠ ⎞ = − 3 2 2 and hence is 3 2 2 Alternatively, this solid is simply a regular tetrahedron of side length 2 , from which the result about the volume is immediate.
