Calculation of the volume of a 3-D sub-region
The volume of a closed and bounded region in three-dimensional space is given by the following formula:
Calculate the volume of the tetrahedron with vertices , , , and .
The volume of the tetrahedron with vertices , , , and can be calculated as the triple integral of the constant function over the region . This tetrahedron is enclosed by the planes , , , and . We use this to set up the following iterated integral for calculating the volume:
