Abstract/Summary

This paper presents two generalized formulas in getting the volume of a parallelepiped generated by k vectors u1, u2, ..., uk in Rn namely: 1) IUTUI = Volume (V(U1, U2,...,Uk)2. 2) (Volume(V))2 = (Volume (P, V))2. These two formulas are proved and illustrated to facilitate the understanding of their application. Moreover, preliminary concepts needed to tackle the main results are given.
