Consider the points A(2,4,6), B(-2,-4,-2), C(4,6,4) and D(8,14,12) . Which of the following statements is/ are correct? 1. The points are the vertices of a rectangle A B C D . 2. The mid-point of A C is the same as that of B D . Select the correct answer using the code given below :
Options
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Correct answer
B. 2 only
Step-by-step solution
aligned & A C= (4-2)^2+(6-4)^2+(4-6)^2 & = 4+4+4 =2 3 & B D= (8+2)^2+(14+4)^2+(12+2)^2 & =2 187 aligned A C B D ( i.e., Diagonals are not equal.) So, statement is wrong. Mid point of A C=(3,5,5) is equal to mid point of B D=(3,5,5) So, statement 2 is correct
