If the plane 2x + 3y + z = 6 cuts coordinate axes at A, B and C, then the volume of tetrahedron OABC (where O is the origin) is ......cubic units.
Options
- A30
- B6
- C36
- D180
Correct answer
B. 6
Step-by-step solution
The equation of the plane is 2x + 3y + z = 6 . Dividing by 6 , the intercept form of the plane is x 3 + y 2 + z 6 = 1 . The intercepts on the coordinate axes are a = 3 , b = 2 , and c = 6 . The coordinates of the vertices of the tetrahedron are A(3, 0, 0) , B(0, 2, 0) , and C(0, 0, 6) , with O(0, 0, 0) as the origin. The volume of the tetrahedron OABC is given by V = 1 6 abc . Substituting the values, V = 1 6 (3)(2)(6) = 6 cubic units. Answer: 6
