Three-dimensional Geometry

Question:

A is the point (3, 7, 5) and B is the point (–3, 2, 6). The projection of AB on the line which joins the points (7, 9, 4) and (4, 5, –8) is

Options:

26

2

13

4

Correct Answer:

2

Explanation:

Distances of the line joining (7, 9, 4) and (4, 5, − 8) is <$\frac{3}{13}, \frac{4}{13}, \frac{12}{13}$>

Therefore required projection is $\frac{26}{13}$ = 2
