I can help you solve the questions from the image you uploaded. Here are the eight geometry problems involving cubes, pyramids, and cuboids. Let’s go step by step to solve them.


Problem 1:

Given a cube ABCD.EFGHABCD.EFGH with an unknown side length. Point PP is at the midpoint of side DCDC. Find the distance from point BB to point PP.

Solution:

  1. Assume the side length of the cube is ss.
  2. Coordinates of relevant points:
    • B(s,0,0)B(s, 0, 0) (since point B is on the front bottom-left corner).
    • D(0,s,0)D(0, s, 0), C(s,s,0)C(s, s, 0) (since these are on the bottom face).
    • Point PP, the midpoint of DCDC, has coordinates (s2,s,0)\left(\frac{s}{2}, s, 0 \right).
  3. 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 dBP=s52d_{BP} = \frac{s\sqrt{5}}{2}.


Problem 2:

You are given a square pyramid T.ABCDT.ABCD where the height TA=10TA = 10 cm and the base AB=8AB = 8 cm. Find the distance from point AA to line TDTD.


Problem 3:

A square pyramid T.ABCDT.ABCD has a slant height of 25 cm, and the length of the base is unknown. Find the distance from point TT to plane ABCDABCD.


Problem 4:

A cube ABCDEFGHABCDEFGH has an edge length of 6 cm. If point SS is the intersection of diagonals EGEG and FHFH, and point TT is at the midpoint of side DHDH, find the distance from point SS to point TT.


Problem 5:

In a room of size 6m×6m×6m6 \, \text{m} \times 6 \, \text{m} \times 6 \, \text{m}, a lamp is placed in the center of the ceiling. The room is modeled as a cube ABCD.EFGHABCD.EFGH. Determine the distance from the lamp to one of the corners on the floor.


Problem 6:

Given a cube ABCD.EFGHABCD.EFGH with an edge length of 3\sqrt{3} cm, and point TT on ADAD such that AT=1AT = 1 cm, find the distance from point AA to point BB along line BTBT.


Problem 7:

In a cube ABCD.EFGHABCD.EFGH with an edge length of 6 cm, find the distance from point BB to diagonal AGAG.


Problem 8:

A cuboid PQRS.TUVWPQRS.TUVW has dimensions 6cm×3cm×4cm6 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} \times 4 \, \text{cm}. Point PP is at the midpoint of edge VRVR. Determine the distance from point PP to point XX.
