    The perimeter of the triangle with vertices at (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0) and (0, 0, 1) is

    A)  3               

    B)  2

    C)  \[2\sqrt{2}\]             

    D)  \[3\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let A = (1, 0, 0), B = (0,1, 0) and C = (0, 0,1) Now, \[AB=\sqrt{{{(0-1)}^{2}}+{{(1-0)}^{2}}+{{0}^{2}}}=\sqrt{2}\] \[BC=\sqrt{{{0}^{2}}+{{(0-1)}^{2}}+{{(1-0)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{2}\] and  \[CA=\sqrt{{{(1-0)}^{2}}+{{0}^{2}}+{{(0-1)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{2}\] \[\therefore \] Perimeter of triangle = AB + BC + CA \[=\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}\] \[=3\sqrt{2}\]
