Introduction to Three Dimensional Geometry

What are the coordinates of the vertices of a cube whose edge is 2 units, one of whose vertices coincides with the origin and the three edges passing through the origin, coincides with the positive direction of the axes through the origin?

Solution: It is given that a cube with 2 units edge, one of whose vertices coincides with the origin and the 3 edges passing through the origin, coincides with the positive direction of the axes...

Choose the correct answer from the given four options indicated against each of the Exercises if the distance between the points $(\mathrm{a}, 0,1)$ and $(0,1,2)$ is $\sqrt{27}$, then the value of $a$ is
(A) 5
(B) $\pm 5$
(C) 5
(D) none of these

Solution: Option(B) $\pm 5$ Explanation: Suppose $P$ be the point whose coordinate is $(a, 0,1)$ and $Q$ represents the point $(0,$, $(1,2) .$ It is given that, $\mathrm{PQ}=\sqrt{27}$ From the...

Choose the correct answer from the given four options indicated against each of the Exercises what is the length of foot of perpendicular drawn from the point $P(3,4,5)$ on $y$-axis
(A) $\sqrt{41}$
(B) $\sqrt{34}$
(C) 5
(D) none of these

Solution: Option(B) $\sqrt{34}$ Explanation: As it is known that $y$-axis lies on $x$ y plane and $y z$. Therefore, its distance from $x y$ and $y z$ plane is 0 . $\therefore$ By the basic...
