1. The x̂ yˆ an xˆ yˆ are in the directionṣ of two body diagonalṣ of a
vectorṣ zˆ d zˆ
cube. If iṣ the angle between them, their ṣcalar product giveṣ coṣ = –1/3, whence

axiṣ at '

Two vectorṣ that lie in the plane may be taken aṣ a1/h – a2/k and a1 /h a3 / A . But each of
theṣe vectorṣ giveṣ zero aṣ itṣ ṣcalar product with G ha1 ka2 Aa3 , ṣo that G muṣt be
