Problem

Three vertices of a cube are P=(7,12,10)P=(7,12,10), Q=(8,8,1)Q=(8,8,1), and R=(11,3,9)R=(11,3,9). What is the surface area of the cube?

解析

Solution

PQ=(87)2+(812)2+(110)2=98PQ=\sqrt{(8-7)^2+(8-12)^2+(1-10)^2}=\sqrt{98} PR=(117)2+(312)2+(910)2=98PR=\sqrt{(11-7)^2+(3-12)^2+(9-10)^2}=\sqrt{98} QR=(118)2+(38)2+(91)2=98QR=\sqrt{(11-8)^2+(3-8)^2+(9-1)^2}=\sqrt{98}

So, PQRPQR is an equilateral triangle. Let the side of the cube be aa.

a2=98a\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{98}

So, a=7a=7, and hence the surface area is 6a2=2946a^2=\boxed{294}.
