Find the reciprocal lattice of a monoclinic crystal

a) Determine the reciprocal lattice of a monoclinic crystal a = 5 Å, b = 8 Å, c = 25 Å, and α = 98°.

b) Make a sketch to illustrate the unit cell in the real space and in reciprocal space.

c) Give the length of the unit cell vectors in reciprocal space.
