For a three-dimensional basis with nonzero scalar triple product Δ, its reciprocal basis satisfies e2​×e3​=e1​/Δ and the cyclic analogues. Consequently its scalar triple product is 1/Δ, and taking the reciprocal basis again recovers the original basis. The coordinates of V in the original basis are V⋅ei​; in the reciprocal basis they are V⋅ei​.
