Question 15 Marks
Three vertices of a Parallelogram ABCD are A(1, 2, 3), B(-1, -2, -1) and C(2, 3, 2). Find the fourth vertex D.
Answer
Let the coordinate of D be (a, b, c).

We know that the diagonals of a paralleogram bisect each other.
$\therefore$ Mid-point of AC i.e., $\text{O}=\Big(\frac{1+2}{2},\frac{2+3}{2},\frac{3+2}{2}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{3}{2},\frac{5}{2},\frac{5}{2}\Big)$
Mid-point of BD i.e., $\text{O}=\Big(\frac{\text{a}-1}{2},\frac{\text{b}-2}{2},\frac{\text{c}-1}{2}\Big)$
Euating the corresponding coordinate, we have
$\frac{\text{a}-1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\Rightarrow\text{a}=4$
$\frac{\text{b}-2}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\Rightarrow\text{b}=7$
and $\frac{\text{c}-1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\Rightarrow\text{c}=6$
Hence, the coordinates of D = (4, 7, 6).

Question 25 Marks
The mid-points of the sides of a triangle are (5, 7, 11), (0, 8, 5) and (2, 3, -1). Find its vertices.
Answer
Given that mid points of the sides of $\triangle\text{ABC}$ D(5, 7, 11), E(0, 8, 5) and F(2, 3, -1).

Let the vertices of triangle be $\text{A}(\text{x}_1, \text{y}_1, \text{z}_1), \text{B}(\text{x}_2, \text{y}_2, \text{z}_2), \text{C}(\text{x}_3, \text{y}_3, \text{z}_3)$.
Mid-point of AC is E.
$\therefore\Big(\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_3}{2},\frac{\text{y}_1+\text{y}_3}{2},\frac{\text{z}_1+\text{z}_3}{2}\Big)\equiv(0,8,5)$
So, $\text{C}(\text{x}_3,\text{y}_3,\text{z}_3)\equiv\text{C}(-\text{x}_1,16-\text{y}_1,10-\text{z}_1)\ \ ..(\text{i})$
Mid-point of AB is F.
$\therefore\Big(\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2}{2},\frac{\text{y}_1+\text{y}_2}{2},\frac{\text{z}_1+\text{z}_2}{2}\Big)\equiv(2,3,-1)$
So, $\text{C}(\text{x}_2,\text{y}_2,\text{z}_2)\equiv\text{B}(4-\text{x}_1,6-\text{y}_1,-2-\text{z}_1)\ \ ..(\text{ii})$
Mid-point of BC is D
$\therefore\frac{-\text{x}_1+4-\text{x}_1}{2}=5,\ \frac{16-\text{y}_1+6-\text{y}_1}{2}=7,\ \frac{10-\text{z}_1-2-\text{z}_1}{2}=11$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}_1=-3,\text{y}_1=4$ and $\text{z}_1=-7$
$\therefore\text{A}\equiv(-3,4,-7)$
So, $\text{B}\equiv(7,2,5)\ \ [\text{Using (ii)]}$
and $\text{C}\equiv(3,12,17)\ \ [\text{Using (i)]}$

  1. In xy-plane, z-coordinate is zero.
  2. The point (2, 3, 4) lies in 1st octant.
  3. Locus of the points having x-coordinate zero is yz-plane.
  4. A line is parallel to x-axis if and only if all the points on the line have equal y and z-coordinates.
  5. x = 0, y = 0 represent z-axis
  6. z = c represents the plane parallel to xy-plane.

  1. The plane x = a is parallel to yz-plane.

Plane y = b is parallel to xz-plane. So, planes x = a and y = b is line of intersection of these planes. Now, line of intersection of yz-plane and xz-plane is z-axis. So, line of intersection of planes x = a andy = b is line parallel to z-axis.

  1. Coordinates of a point are the distances from the origin to the feet of perpendicular from the point on the respective axis.
  2. A ball is the solid region in the space enclosed by a sphere.
  3. The region in the plane enclosed by a circle is known as a disc.

Question 45 Marks
Name the octant in which each of the following points lies:
  1. (1, 2, 3).
  2. (4, -2, 3).
  3. (4, -2, -5).
  4. (4, 2, -5).

Question 55 Marks
The mid-point of the sides of a triangle are (1, 5, -1), (0, 4, -2) and (2, 3, 4). Find its vertices. Also find the centriod of the triangle.
Answer
Given that mid-points of the sides of AABC are D(1, 5, -1), E(0, 4, -2) and F(2, 3, 4).

Let the vertices of triangle be A(x1, y1, z1), B(x2, y2, z2) and (x3, y3, z3)
Mid-point of AC is E.
$\therefore\Big(\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_3}{2},\frac{\text{y}_1+\text{y}_3}{2},\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{z}_3}{2}\Big)\equiv(0,4,-2)$
So, $\text{C}(\text{x}_3,\text{y}_3,\text{z}_3)\equiv\text{C}(-\text{x}_1,8-\text{y}_1,-4-\text{z}_1)\ \ ...\text{(i})$
Mid-point of AB is F.
$\therefore\Big(\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2}{2},\frac{\text{y}_1+\text{y}_2}{2},\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{z}_2}{2}\Big)\equiv(2,3,4)$
So, $\text{B}(\text{x}_2,\text{y}_2,\text{z}_2)\equiv\text{B}(4-\text{x}_1,6-\text{y}_1,8-\text{z}_1)\ \ ...\text{(ii})$
Mid-point of BC is D.
$\therefore\frac{-\text{x}_1+4-\text{x}_1}{2}=1,\frac{8-\text{y}_1+6-\text{y}_1}{2}=5,\frac{-4-\text{z}_1+8-\text{z}_1}{2}=-1$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}_1=1,\text{y}_1=2$ and $\text{z}_1=3$
$\therefore\text{A}\equiv(1,2,3)$
So, $\text{B}\equiv(3,4,5)\ \ [\text{Using (ii)}]$
and $\text{C}\equiv(-1,6,-7)\ \ [\text{Using (i)}]$
Centroid, $\text{G}\equiv\Big(\frac{1+3-1}{3},\frac{2+4+6}{3},\frac{3+5-7}{3}\Big)\equiv\Big(1,4,\frac{1}{3}\Big)$
