Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question appears to be about a cube , with the given length cm. The problem asks for the distance from point to point .
Solution Outline:
In a cube, and are opposite vertices. The diagonal distance between two opposite vertices of a cube can be found using the formula: Where is the space diagonal (distance from to ) and "side length" refers to the length of one edge of the cube.
We are given that . Since is the diagonal across one face of the cube, we can use the formula for the face diagonal:
Step-by-step Solution:
-
From , solve for the side length of the cube:
-
Now, calculate the distance from to using the space diagonal formula:
So, the distance from point to point is cm, which matches option (e).

Expanding the Topic:
- How do you calculate the length of a face diagonal in a cube?
- What is the formula for the volume of a cube given its side length?
- How can you calculate the surface area of a cube?
- How would the formula for the space diagonal change for a rectangular prism?
- What is the relationship between the side length and the diagonals in a cube?
Tip: In a cube, every diagonal (face or space) is related to the side length through square roots, making the diagonal formulas easy to derive!
