MCQ
A parallelopiped is formed by planes drawn through the point (2, 3, 5) and (5, 9, 7) parallel to the coordinate planes. The length of a diagonal of the parallelopiped is:
  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $\sqrt{38}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{155}$
  • D
    $\text{none of these}$

Answer

  1. 7

Solution:

The given point (2, 3, 5) and (5, 9, 7) are two diagonally opposite vertices of the parallelopiped as all of theire coordinates are different.

$\therefore$ Edges of the paralleloppiped

= |2 - 5|, |3 - 9| and |5 - 7|

=3, 6 and 2.

Now,

Length of the diagonal of the parallelopiped

$=\sqrt{3^2+6^2+2^2}$

$=\sqrt{9+36+4}$

$=\sqrt{49}$

$=7$

Hence, length of the diagonal of the parallelepiped formed by the planes

Parallel to coordinate planes and drawn through point (2, 3, 5)and (5, 9, 7) is 7 units.
