Exercise 11.2

1. Find the distance between the following pairs of points:

(i) (2, 3, 5) and (4, 3, 1)

Ans: Distance between points (2, 3, 5) and (4, 3, 1)

= √(4 – 2)² + (3 – 3)² + (1 – 5)² 

= √(2)² + (0)² + (- 4)²

= √4 + 16 

= √20 

= 2√5

(ii) (-3, 7, 2) and (2, 4, -1)

Ans: Distance between points ( – 3,7,2) and ( 2, 4 , – 1)

= √(2 + 3)² + (4 – 7)² + (- 1 – 2)²

= √(5)² + (- 3)² + (- 3)² 

= √25 + 9 + 9

= √43

(iii) (-1,3,-4) and (1, -3, 4)

Ans: Distance between points (-1, 3, – 4) and (1, – 3, 4)

= √(1 + 1)² + (- 3 – 3)² + (4 + 4)² 

= √(2)² + (- 6)³ + (8)² 

= √4 + 36 + 64 = √104 = 2√26

(iv) (2,-1, 3) and (-2, 1, 3)

Ans: Distance between points ( 2 ,- 1,3) and ( – 2,1,3)

= √(- 2 – 2)² + (1 + 1)² + (3 – 3)²

= √(- 4)² + (2)² + (0)²

= √16 + 4

= √20

= 2√5

2. Show that the points (-2, 3, 5), (1, 2, 3) and (7, 0, -1) are collinear.

Ans: Let points (- 2, 3, 5), (1, 2, 3), and (7, 0, – 1) be denoted by P, Q, and R respectively. 

Points P, Q, and R are collinear if they lie on a line.

PQ = √(1 + 2)² + (2 – 3)² + (3 – 5)²

= √(3)² + (- 1)² + (- 2)²

= √9 + 1 + 4 

= √14

QR = √(7 – 1)² + (0 – 2)² + (- 1 – 3)²

= √(6)² + (- 2)² + (- 4)²

= √36 + 4 + 16

= √56 

= 2√14

PR = √(7 + 2)² + (0 – 3)² + (- 1 – 5)²

= √(9)² + (- 3)² + (- 6)² 

= √(81 + 9 + 36) 

= √126

= 3√14

Here, PQ + QR = √14 + 2√14 =3 √14 = PR, 

Hence, points P(- 2, 3, 5), Q(1, 2, 3), and R(7, 0, – 1) are collinear.

3. Verify the following:

(i) (0,7,-10), (1, 6, -6) and (4, 9, -6) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.

Ans: Let points (0, 7, – 10), (1, 6, – 6), and (4, 9, – 6) be denoted by A, B, and C respectively.

AB = √(1 + 0)² + (6 – 7)² + (- 6 + 10)² 

= ᵃ√(1)² + (- 1)² + (4)²

=  √1 + 1 + 16

= √18 

= 3√2

BC  = √(4 – 1)² + (9 – 6)² + (- 6 + 6)²

= √(3)² + (3)²

= √9 + 9 = √18 = 3√2

CA = √(0 – 4)² + (7 – 9)² + (- 10 + 6)² 

= √(- 4)² + (- 2)² + (- 4)²

= √16 + 4 + 16 = √36 = 6 

Here, AB =BC ≠ CA 

Thus, the given points 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.

Ans: Let (0, 7, 10), ( – 1,6,6) and ( – 4,9,6) be denoted by A, B, and C respectively.

AB = √(- 1 – 0)² + (6 – 7)² + (6 – 10)²

= √(- 1)² + (- 1)² + (- 4)²

= √1 + 1 + 16 = √18 

= 3√2

BC = √(- 4 + 1)² + (9 – 6)² + (6 – 6)²

= √(- 3)² + (3)² + (0)² 

= √9 + 9 = √18 

= 3√2

CA = √(0 + 4)² + (7 – 9)² + (10 – 6)²

= √(4)² + (- 2)² + (4)²

= √16 + 4 + 16

= √36 

= 6 

Now, AB² + BC² = (3√2)² + (3√2)² = 18 + 18 = 36 = AC²

Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem, ABC is a right triangle.

Hence, the given points 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.

Ans: Let (- 1, 2, 1), (1, – 2, 5), (4, – 7, 8), and ( 2 ,- 3,4) be denoted by A, B, C, and D respectively.

AB = √(1 + 1)² + (- 2 – 2)² + (5 – 1)²

= √4 + 16 + 16

= √36

= 6

BC = √(4 – 1)² + (- 7 + 2)² + (8 – 5)² 

= √9 + 25 + 9 = √43

CD = √(2 – 4)² + (- 3 + 7)² + (4 – 8)²

= √4 + 16 + 16

= √36 

= 6

DA = √(- 1 – 2)² + (2 + 3)² + (1 – 4)² 

= √9 + 25 + 9 = √43

Here, AB = CD = 6, BC = AD = √43

Hence, the opposite sides of quadrilateral ABCD, whose vertices are taken in order, are equal.

Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram.

Hence, the given points are the vertices of a parallelogram.

4. Find the equation of the set of points which are equidistant from the points (1, 2, 3) and (3, 2, -1).

Ans: Let P(x, y, z) be the point that is equidistant from points A(1, 2, 3) and B( 3, 2 ,- 1) 

Accordingly, PA = PB

⇒ PA² = PB²

 ⇒ (x – 1)² + (y – 2)² + (z – 3)² = (x – 3)² + (y – 2)² + (z + 1)²

⇒ x² – 2x + 1 + y² – 4y + 4 + z² – 6z + 9 = x² – 6x + 9 + y² – 4y + 4 + z² + 2z + 1 

⇒ – 2x – 4y – 6z + 14 = – 6x – 4y + 2z + 14 

⇒ – 2x – 6z + 6x – 2z = 0 

⇒ 4x – 8z = 0 

⇒ x – 2z = 0 

Thus, the required equation is x – 2z = 0

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.

Ans: Let the coordinates of P be (x, y, z).

The coordinates of points A and B are (4, 0, 0) and (- 4, 0, 0) respectively.

It is given that PA + PB = 10

⇒ √(x – 4)² + y² + z² + √(x + 4)² + y² + z² = 10

⇒ √(x – 4)² + y² + z² = 10 – √(x + 4)² + y² + z²

On squaring both sides, we obtain 

⇒ (x – 4)² + y² + z² = 100 – 20√(x + 4)² + y² + z² + (x + 4)² + y² + z² 

⇒ x² – 8x + 16 + y² + z² = 100 – 20√x² + 8x + 16 + y² + z² + x² + 8x + 16 + y² + z² 

⇒ 20√x² + 8x + 16 + y² + z² = 100 + 16x 

⇒ 5√x² + 8x + 16 + y² + z² = (25 + 4x)

On squaring both sides again, we obtain

25(x² + 8x + 16 + y² + z²) = 625 + 16x² + 200x

⇒ 25x² + 200x + 400 + 25y² + 25z² = 625 + 16x² + 200x

⇒ 9x² + 25y² + 25z² – 225 = 0

Thus, the required equation is 9x² + 25y² + 25z² – 225 = 0

Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 11

1. Three vertices of a parallelogram ABCD are A(3, – 1, 2) B (1, 2, – 4) and C(- 1, 1, 2) Find the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

Ans: The three vertices of a parallelogram ABCD are given as A (3, – 1, 2), B (1, 2, – 4), and C (- 1, 1, 2). Let the coordinates of the fourth vertex be D (x, y, z).

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Therefore, in parallelogram ABCD, AC and BD bisect each other. 

∴ Mid -point of AC = Mid – point of BD

⇒ x = 1 , y = – 2 and z = 8 

Thus, the coordinates of the fourth vertex are ( 1 ,- 2,8)

2. Find the lengths of the medians of the triangle with vertices A (0, 0, 6), B (0,4, 0) and (6, 0, 0).

Ans: Let AD, BE, and CF be the medians of the given triangle ABC.

Since AD is the median, D is the midpoint of BC.

∴ Coordinates of point D

= (3, 2, 0)

AD = √(0 – 3)² + (0 – 2)² + (6 + 0)² = √9 + 4 + 36 = √49 = 7 

Since BE is the median, E is the midpoint of AC. 

∴ Coordinates of point E 

= (3,0,3) 

BE = √(3 + 0)² + (0 – 4)² + (3 + 0)² = √9 + 16 + 9) = √34 

Since CF is the median, F is the midpoint of AB.

∴ Coordinates of point F =

= (0,2,3) 

Length of CF = √(6 + 0)² + (0 – 2)² + (0 – 3)² = √36 + 4 + 9 = √49 = 7 

Thus, the lengths of the medians of ∆ABC are 7, √34 and 7

3. If the origin is the centroid of the  ∆PQR with vertices P (2a, 2, 6) ) (- 4, 3b, – 10) and R(8, 14, 2c) then find the values of a, b and c.

Ans: 

It is known that the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle, whose vertices are (x₁, y₁, z₁) (x₂, y₂, z₂) and (x₃, y₃, z₃) are

Therefore, coordinates of the centroid of

∆PQR = 

It is given that origin is the centroid of ∆PQR

Thus, the respective values of a, b, and c are

4. If A and B are the points (3, 4, 5) and (-1, 3, -7), respectively, find the equation of the set of points P such that PA² + PB² = k² where k is a constant.

Ans: The coordinates of points A and B are given as (3, 4, 5) and (- 1, 3, – 7) respectively.

Let the coordinates of point P be (x, y, z)

On using distance formula, we obtain

PA² = (x – 3)² + (y – 4)² + (z – 5)² 

= x² + 9 – 6x + y² + 16 – 8y + z² + 25 – 10z 

= x² – 6x + y² – 8y + z² – 10z + 50 

PB² = (x + 1)² + (y – 3)² + (z + 7)² 

= x² + 2x + y² – 6y + z² + 14z + 59

Now, if PA² + PB² = k², then 

(x² – 6x + y² – 8y + z² – 10z + 50) + (x² + 2x + y² – 6y + z² + 14z + 59) = k² 

⇒ 2x² + 2y² + 2z² – 4x – 14y + 4z + 109 = k²

⇒ 2(x² + y² + z² – 2x – 7y + 2z) = k² – 109

⇒ x² + y² + z² – 2x – 7y + 2z = 

Thus, the required equation is x² + y² + z² – 2x – 7y + 2z =
