Math Problem Statement
Solution
This image presents a geometric problem related to a pyramid with vertices , , , and . Based on the coordinates of these vertices, you are asked to calculate various properties, such as the area of the base triangle, the volume of the pyramid, and equations of planes, lines, and distances.
Let's break down the problem and proceed step by step:
1. Area of the Triangle
To calculate the area of triangle , we can use the formula for the area of a triangle given three points in 3D space. The area is calculated as:
Where and are vectors formed by the points , , and .
2. Volume of the Pyramid
The volume of the pyramid can be found using the formula:
The height is the perpendicular distance from the vertex to the base .
3. Equation of the Plane Containing Triangle
To find the equation of the plane containing the points , , and , we first need the normal vector to the plane. This can be found by calculating the cross product of vectors and .
Once we have the normal vector, the equation of the plane can be written as:
Where is the normal vector and is the constant determined by substituting the coordinates of any point on the plane (for example, point ).
4. Equation of the Line
The line passing through point perpendicular to the plane is found by using the direction vector given by the normal vector of the plane .
5. Coordinates of Intersection Point
To find the coordinates of the intersection point of the line and the plane , we solve the system of equations representing the line and the plane.
6. Angle Between Planes and
The angle between two planes is given by the formula:
