Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem involves a cube with a side length of 6 cm. We are asked to determine the distance between several pairs of points on the cube.
Let's analyze the distances for each pair:
-
Distance from A to F:
Points A and F are located on the same edge of the cube. The distance between A and F is the side length of the cube, which is 6 cm. -
Distance from B to G:
Points B and G are located on the diagonal of one of the faces of the cube. To find the distance of the diagonal on a face, we use the Pythagorean theorem: -
Distance from A to G:
Points A and G are diagonally opposite in the three-dimensional space of the cube. To calculate this distance, we use the 3D Pythagorean theorem: -
Distance from A to P:
Points A and P are located along one of the edges of the cube. Since P is directly above A, the distance from A to P is simply the side length of the cube, which is 6 cm. -
Distance from O to B:
The point O is the center of the cube. To find the distance from the center of the cube (O) to any vertex (B), we use half the diagonal of the cube:
Answers:
- a. A to F: 6 cm
- b. B to G: cm
- c. A to G: cm
- d. A to P: 6 cm
- e. O to B: cm
