The hypercube is formed by moving the parallelepiped in a fourth direction, thus creating a 4-dimensional object bounded by 8 parallelepipeds (2 for each axis of freedom). The volume of an n-parallelotope can be calculated by taking the product of its lengths in each dimension or by taking the absolute value of the determinant of the vectors spanning it.
