/*This is a C++ Program to find the volume of tetrahedron.
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 colums 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
