Let be a tetrahedron such that the edges and are mutually perpendicular. Let the areas of the triangles and ADB be 5,6 and 7 square units respectively. Then the area (in square units) of the is equal to :
- A
- B12
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Set up coordinates
Since are mutually perpendicular, place with .
Then:
- Use the given face areas
Because each of the triangles is right-angled at ,
- Find
We use
- Area of triangle
Using coordinates,
Area of is
Now, so
Hence,
- Check options
- A: ✅
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct answer is
