3D Geometry Question

Answer 1

Question attached.

Answer 2

Ive worked it out on my own and for some reason i am getting a length of side BC that is 4.47 yet it is not correct

Answer 3

Im sure I can figure this all out, the question tho is what coordinates are you seeing here in terms of xyz

Answer 4

Can you find the (x,y,z) coordinates of each of the points A, B and C?

Answer 5

yeah what i had for a was 1,1,1
b was 3,5,4
and c was 3,5,0

Answer 6

A & B lie on the y-z plane.

Answer 7

so when i take the magnitude i get the following
root (3-3)^2 + (5-5)^2 + (0-4)^2 which equated to 4 but i know this is not right just by looking at things. Or because they share the plane it has to be solved another way

Answer 8

but the range is 5.39

Answer 9

Damn I did a dumb mistake. fixing:
To tell the truth... I can't be sure either. But, the way i see it they must supply all coordinates for all points. And since every point has only 2 explicit coordinates in there, it seems they all touch planes.
so I would say
A = (0, 1, 1)
B = (0, 3, 4)
C= (3, 5, 0)

Answer 10

@k1dj03y Your A, B & C coordinates are wrong. Points A & B lie on the y-z plane and therefore their x-coordinates are 0. Try coordinates of A, B & C again.

Answer 11

ok so your taking it as a is back on the x plan then because why? they are not defining it along the x axis?

Answer 12

and same reasoning with b i suppose as well. Because its not being boxed out for the diagram it can be thought of as not sticking out

Answer 13

Yes. There is no x-xordinates for A & B.

What pitamar posted above are the correct coordinates for A, B & C.

Answer 14

gotcha and yeah then the numbers check out like they should

Answer 15

cool.

Answer 16

Take it back.. I don't deserve it =|

Answer 17

thx again and this stuffs a pain in the retricewhen trying to imagine on paper so ill have to keep the boxed in thing in mind when looking at them
