A parallelepiped is formed by planes ...

A parallelepiped is formed by planes drawn through the points `P(6,8,10)a n d(3,4,8)` parallel to the coordinate planes. Find the length of edges and diagonal of the parallelepiped.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From the figure, it is clear that the length of the edges of the parallelepiped `a, b, c` is `x_(2)-x_(1), y_(2)-y_(1), z_(2)-z_(1)` or `6-3, 8-4 and 10-8 or 3, 4 and 2`. Therefore,

The length of the diagonal will be
`" "sqrt(a^(2)+b^(2)+c^(2))=sqrt(9+16+4)=sqrt(39)`.
