/*This is a Java Program to compute volume of tetrahedron using determinants. Call the four vertices of the tetrahedron (a, b, c), (d, e, f), (g, h, i), and (p, q, r). Now create a 4-by-4 matrix in which the coordinate triples form the columns of the matrix, with a row of 1s appended at the bottom:
a d g p
b e h q
c f i r
1 1 1 1
The volume of the tetrahedron is 1/6 times the absolute value of the matrix determinant. For any 4-by-4 matrix that has a row of 1s along the bottom, you can compute the determinant with a simplification formula that reduces the problem to a 3-by-3 matrix
a-p d-p g-p
b-q e-q h-q
c-r f-r i-r*/
