Consider points A,B,CA, B, C and DD with position

vectors 7i^−4j^+7k^,i^−6j^+10k^,−i^−3j^+4k^7\widehat i - 4\widehat j + 7\widehat k,\widehat i - 6\widehat j + 10\widehat k, - \widehat i - 3\widehat j + 4\widehat k and 5i^−j^+5k^5\widehat i - \widehat j + 5\widehat k respectively. Then ABCDABCD is a :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A parallelogram but not a rhombus
  • B square
  • C rhombus
  • D None

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

A=(7,−4,7),B=(1,−6,10),A = \left( {7, - 4,7} \right),B = \left( {1, - 6,10} \right),

C=(−1,−3,4)C = \left( { - 1, - 3,4} \right) and D=(5,−1,5)D = \left( {5, - 1,5} \right)

AB=(7−1)2+(−4+6)2+(7−10)2AB = \sqrt {{{\left( {7 - 1} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 4 + 6} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {7 - 10} \right)}^2}}

=36+4+9=7= \sqrt {36 + 4 + 9} = 7

Similarly BC=7,  CD=41,  DA=17BC = 7,\,\,CD = \sqrt {41} ,\,\,DA = \sqrt {17}

∴\therefore None of the options is satisfied
