""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-8

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

Answer :

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. 

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-4

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.
(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.

Answer :

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

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-3

Here, AB = BC ≠ CA

Thus, the given points are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.

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

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-2

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

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-1

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).

Answer :

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.

Solution

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. 

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry

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.

Exercise 12.3

1. Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points (–2, 3, 5) and (1, –4, 6) in the ratio (i) 2:3 internally, (ii) 2:3 externally.

Answer :

(i) The coordinates of point R that divides the line segment joining points P (x1, y1, z1) and Q (x2, y2, z2) internally in the ratio m: n are 

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-13

i.e., x = -8, y = 17, and z = 3 

Thus, the coordinates of the required point are (-8, 17, 3).

2. Given that P (3, 2, –4), Q (5, 4, –6) and R (9, 8, –10) are collinear. Find the ratio in which Q divides PR.

Answer :

Let point Q (5, 4, –6) divide the line segment joining points P (3, 2, –4) and R (9, 8, –10) in the ratio k:1.

Therefore, by section formula, 

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-12

⇒ 9k + 3 = 5k + 5 

⇒ 4k = 2 

⇒ k = 2/4 = 1/2 

Thus, point Q divides PR in the ratio 1 : 2.

3. Find the ratio in which the YZ-plane divides the line segment formed by joining the points (–2, 4, 7) and (3, –5, 8).

Solution

Let the YZ planedivide the line segment joining points (–2, 4, 7) and (3, –5, 8) in the ratio k:1.

Hence, by section formula, the coordinates of point of intersection are given by 

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-11

On the YZ plane, the x - coordinate of any point is zero. 

(3k - 2)/(k + 1) = 0 

⇒ 3k -2 = 0 

⇒ k = 2/3 

Thus, the YZ plane divides the line segment formed by joining the given points in the ratio 2 : 3.

4. Using section formula, show that the points A (2, –3, 4), B (–1, 2, 1) and  C(0, 1/3, 2) are collinear.  

Answer :

The given points are A (2, –3, 4), B (–1, 2, 1), and C(0, 1/3, 2). .

Let P be a point that divides AB in the ratio k:1.

Hence, by section formula, the coordinates of P are given by 

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-10

Now, we find the value of k at which point P coincides with point C.  

By taking (-k + 2)/(k + 1) = 0 , we obtain k = 2. 

For k = 2, the coordinates of point P are (0, 1/3, 2). 

i.e, C(0, 1/3, 2) is a point that divides AB externally in the ratio 2 : 1 and is the same as point P . 

Hence, points A, B, and C are collinear.

5. Find the coordinates of the points which trisect the line segment joining the points P (4, 2, –6) and Q (10, –16, 6).

Answer :

Let A and B be the points that trisect the line segment joining points P (4, 2, –6) and Q (10, –16, 6)

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-9

Thus, (6, -4, -2) and (8, -10, 2) are the points that trisect the line segment joining points P(4, 2, -6) and Q(10, -16, 6).

Miscellaneous Exercise

4. Find the coordinates of a point ony-axis which are at a distance of 52 from the point P (3, –2, 5).

Answer :

If a point is on the y-axis, then x-coordinate and the z-coordinate of the point are zero.

Let A (0, b, 0) be the point on the y-axis at a distance of AP = 5√2

""NCERT-Solutions-Class-11-Mathematics-Chapter-12-Introduction-to-Three-Dimensional-Geometry-23

Thus, the coordinates of the required points are (0, 2, 0) and (0, –6, 0).
