$a=i+j=\lt 1,1,0\gt $ $b=j+k=\lt 0,1,1\gt $ $a=i+j+k=\lt 1,1,1\gt $ Volume of a parallelepiped is defined as: $V=|a \cdot (b \times c)|$ $b \times c= \lt 0,1,1 \gt \times \lt 1,1,1 \gt=\lt 0,1,-1 \gt$ $|a \cdot (b \times c)|= |\lt 1,1,0 \gt \cdot \lt 0,1,-1 \gt|$ $=|1 \cdot 0+1 \cdot 1+ 0 \cdot (-1)|$ $=|1|$ $=1$
