(a) (x2 , y1 , z1 ), (x2 , y2 , z1 ), (x1 , y2 , z1 )(x1 , y1 , z2 ), (x2 , y1 , z2 ), (x1 , y2 , z2 ) (b) The midpoint of the diagonal has coordinates which are the coordinates of the midpoints 1 of the edges. The midpoint of the edge (x1 , y1 , z1 ) and (x2 , y1 , z1 ) is (x1 + x2 ), y1 , z1 ; 2 1 the midpoint of the edge (x2 , y1 , z1 ) and (x2 , y2 , z1 ) is x2 , (y1 + y2 ), z1 ; the midpoint 2 1 of the edge (x2 , y2 , z1 ) and (x2 , y2 , z2 )) is x2 , y2 , (z1 + z2 ) . Thus the coordinates of the 2 1 1 1 (x1 + x2 ), (y1 + y2 ), (z1 + z2 ) . midpoint of the diagonal are 2 2 2 5. (a) a single point on that line (b) a line in that plane (c) a plane in 3−space z

6. (a) R(1, 4, 0) and Q lie on the same vertical line, and so does the side of the triangle which connects them. R(1, 4, 0) and P lie in the plane z = 0. Clearly the two sides are perpendicular, and the sum of the squares of the two sides is |RQ|2 + |RP |2 √ = 42 + (22 + 32 ) = 29, so the distance from P to Q is 29.
