Important Questions from Introduction to Three Dimensional Geometry

1multiple choice

Find the point on the x-axis that is equidistant from A(1, 2, 2) and B(7, 5, 8).

Show answer

(11/2, 0, 0)

Let the point be P(x, 0, 0). Then PA = PB. So √((x-1)^2 + (0-2)^2 + (0-2)^2) = √((x-7)^2 + (0-5)^2 + (0-8)^2). Squaring gives (x-1)^2 + 8 = (x-7)^2 + 89. Simplifying: x^2 - 2x + 9 = x^2 - 14x + 138, so 12x = 129 and x = 11/2. Therefore P = (11/2, 0, 0).

A point lies in the yz-plane and is equidistant from A(2, 0, 3), B(0, 3, 2) and C(0, 0, 1). Find the point.

Show answer

(0, 1, 3)

Let P = (0, y, z). Equating PA and PB gives 3y - z = 0. Equating PB and PC gives 3y + z = 6. Solving these two equations gives y = 1 and z = 3. So the point is (0, 1, 3).

Find the coordinates of the centroid of triangle with vertices A(1, 2, 3), B(4, 5, 6) and C(7, 8, 9).

Show answer

(4, 5, 6)

The centroid is the average of the three vertices. So G = ((1+4+7)/3, (2+5+8)/3, (3+6+9)/3) = (4, 5, 6).

Find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment joining P(2, -3, 4) and Q(8, 0, 10) in the ratio 1:2 internally.

Show answer

(4, -2, 6)

Use the internal section formula with m:n = 1:2. Coordinates are ((1·8 + 2·2)/3, (1·0 + 2·(-3))/3, (1·10 + 2·4)/3) = (4, -2, 6).
