Consider a pyramidOPQRSOPQRS located in the first octant (x≥0,y≥0,z≥0)\left(x \ge 0, y \ge 0, z \ge 0\right) withOO, as origin, and OPOP and,OROR along the x‐axisx ‐ axis and the y‐axisy ‐ axis, respectively. The baseOPQROPQR of the pyramid is a square withOP=3OP = 3. The point S is directly above the mid-point T of diagonal, OQOQ, such that, TS=3TS = 3.

Also, length of perpendicular from P to the plane containing the triangle OQS is PT =32= \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}} .
Also equation of RS is \overset{\to}{r} = 3\overset{^}{j} + t\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\overset{^}{i} - \dfrac{3}{2}\overset{^}{j} + 3\overset{^}{k}\right)
=(3t2,3−3t2,3t)= \left(\dfrac{3t}{2}, 3 - \dfrac{3t}{2}, 3t\right)
Consider a pyramid OPQRS located in the first octant (x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, z ≥ 0) with O , as origin, and OP and, OR along the
Let M be foot of ⊥⊥ from origin on line passing through R,S
Let co - ordinates of M=(3t2,3−3t2,3t)M = \left(\dfrac{3t}{2}, 3 - \dfrac{3t}{2}, 3t\right)
∵∵ OM→.RS→=0\overset{\to}{OM} . \overset{\to}{RS} = 0
⇒⇒ 94t−32(3−3t2)+9t=0\dfrac{9}{4}t - \dfrac{3}{2}\left(3 - \dfrac{3t}{2}\right) + 9t = 0
⇒⇒ 9t2+9t=92\dfrac{9t}{2} + 9t = \dfrac{9}{2}
⇒⇒ t=13t = \dfrac{1}{3}
∴∴ M=(12,52,1)M = \left(\dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{5}{2}, 1\right)
⇒⇒ OM=14+254+1=304=152OM = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{25}{4} + 1} = \sqrt{\dfrac{30}{4}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{15}{2}}
