Detailed Solution

Let ‘a’ is the length of each side of cube. Let one of the vertex of the cube is the origin 'o' and the coordinate axes along the 3 edges OA¯,OB¯ and OC¯ are passing through origin The four diagonals are OG¯,AF¯,CE¯,BD¯

O=(0,0,0)C=(0,0,a)F=(0,a,a)  A=(a,0,0)G=(a,a,a)D=(a,0,a)  B=(0,a,0)E=(a,a,0)

=(aa3,aa3,aa3) =(13,13,13)

dr’s of   =(0a,a0,a0)=(a,a,a)
dc’s of  AF¯ =(aa2+a2+a2,aa2+a2+a2,aa2+a2+a2)
