Problem 1:
Given a cube with an unknown side length. Point is at the midpoint of side . Find the distance from point to point .
Solution:
- Assume the side length of the cube is .
- Coordinates of relevant points:
- (since point B is on the front bottom-left corner).
- , (since these are on the bottom face).
- Point , the midpoint of , has coordinates .
- Distance formula: = \sqrt{\left(\frac{s}{2}\right)^2 + s^2} = \sqrt{\frac{s^2}{4} + s^2} = \sqrt{\frac{5s^2}{4}} = \frac{s\sqrt{5}}{2}$$
Thus, the distance .
