Explanation:

The volume of the unit cell is given by the expression

V=abc[1−cos2α−cos2β−cos2γ+2cosαcosβcosγ]

For tetragonal lattice a=b=c and α=β=γ=900 and

cos900=0

The volume of tetragonal unit cell is given by the expression

V=abc[1−cos2900−cos2900−cos2900+2cos90ocos90ocos90o]

V=abc[1−0−0−0+2×0×0times0]

V=abc

For hexagonal unit cell a=b=c and α=β=90o and γ=1200 and cos90o=0, cos120o=−0.5

The volume of the hexagonal unit cell is 

V=abc[1−cos290o−cos290o−cos21
