Let \(A B C D\) be a tetrahedron such that the edges \(\mathrm{AB}, \mathrm{AC}\) and AD are mutually perpendicular. Let the areas of the triangles \(\mathrm{ABC}, \mathrm{ACD}\) and ADB be 5,6 and 7 square units respectively. Then the area (in square units) of the \(\triangle \mathrm{BCD}\) is equal to :

  1. A \(\sqrt{340}\)
  2. B 12
  3. C \(\sqrt{110}\)
  4. D \(7 \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{110}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\operatorname{Ar}(\triangle B C D)\) \(=\sqrt{(\operatorname{Ar}(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}))^2+(\mathrm{Ar}(\mathrm{ACD}))^2+(\operatorname{Ar}(\triangle \mathrm{ADB}))^2}\) \(=\sqrt{5^2+6^2+7^2}\) \(=\sqrt{110}\)
