NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 12 Introduction to Three Dimensional Geometry Ex 12.2

Ex 12.2 Class 11 Maths Question 1.
Find the distance between the following pairs of points:
(i) (2, 3, 5) and (4, 3, 1)
(ii) (-3, 7, 2) and (2, 4, -1)
(iii) (-1, 3, -4) and (1, -3, 4)
(iv) (2, -1, 3) and (-2, 1, 3)
Solution:
(i) The distance PQ between the points P(2, 3, 5) and Q(4, 3, 1) is
\(PQ=\sqrt { \left( 4-2 \right) ^{ 2 }+\left( 3-3 \right) ^{ 2 }\left( 1-5 \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
= \(\sqrt { 4+0+16= } \sqrt { 20 } =2\sqrt { 5 } units.\)

(ii) The distance PQ between the points P(-3, 7, 2) and Q(2, 4, -1) is
\(PQ=\sqrt { \left[ 2-\left( -3 \right) \right] ^{ 2 }+\left( 4-7 \right) ^{ 2 }\left( -1-2 \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
\(=\sqrt { \left( 2+3 \right) ^{ 2 }+\left( 4-7 \right) ^{ 2 }+\left( -1-2 \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
\(=\sqrt { 25+9+9 } =\sqrt { 43 } units\)

(iii) The distance PQ between the points P(-1, 3, -4) and Q(1, -3, 4) is
\(PQ=\sqrt { \left[ 1-\left( -1 \right) \right] ^{ 2 }+\left( -3-3 \right) ^{ 2 }\left[ 4-\left( -4 \right) \right] ^{ 2 } } \)
\(=\sqrt { 4+36+64 } =\sqrt { 104 } =2\sqrt { 26 } units\)

(iv) The distance PQ between the points P(2, -1, 3) and Q(-2, 1, 3) is
\(PQ=\sqrt { \left( -2-2 \right) ^{ 2 }+\left[ 1-\left( -1 \right) \right] ^{ 2 }+\left( 3-3 \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
\(=\sqrt { 16+4+0 } =\sqrt { 20 } =2\sqrt { 5 } units\)

Ex 12.2 Class 11 Maths Question 2.
Show that the points (-2, 3, 5), (1, 2, 3) and (7, 0, -1) are collinear.
Solution:
Let A(-2, 3, 5), B(1, 2, 3) and C(7, 0, -1) be three given points.

Now AC = AB + BC
Thus, points A, B and C are collinear.

Ex 12.2 Class 11 Maths Question 3.
Verify the following:
(i) (0, 7, -10), (1, 6, -6) and (4, 9, -6) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.
(ii) (0, 7, 10), (-1, 6, 6) and (-4, 9, 6) are the vertices of a right angled triangle.
(iii) (-1, 2, 1), (1, -2, 5), (4, -7,8) and (2, -3,4) are the vertices of a parallelogram.
Solution:
(i) Let A(0, 7, -10), B(l, 6, -6) and C(4, 9, -6) be three vertices of triangle ABC. Then

Now, AB = BC
Thus, ABC is an isosceles triangle.

(ii) Let A(0, 7,10), B(-l, 6, 6) and C(-A, 9, 6) be three vertices of triangle ABC. Then

Now, AC² = AB² + BC²
Thus, ABC is a right angled triangle.

(iii) Let A(-1, 2, 1), B(1, -2, 5) and C(4, -7, 8) and D(2, -3,4) be four vertices of quadrilateral ABCD. Then

Now AB = CD, BC = AD and AC ≠ BD
Thus A, B, C and D are vertices of a parallelogram ABCD.

Ex 12.2 Class 11 Maths Question 4.
Find the equation of the set of points which are equidistant from the points (1, 2, 3) and (3, 2, -1).
Solution:
Let A(x, y, z) be any point which is equidistant from points B(1, 2, 3) and C(3, 2, -1).

Ex 12.2 Class 11 Maths Question 5.
Find the equation of the set of points P, the sum of whose distances from A(4, 0, 0) and B(-4,0,0) is equal to 10.
Solution:
Let P(x, y, z) be any point.
