Question:

Let A1, A2, A3, A4,........, A8 be the vertices of the regular octagons that lie on the circle of radius 2. Let p be a point on the circle and let PAi denote the distance between the point P and Ai for i = 1,2,3,....,8. If P varies over the circle, then the maximum value of the product is PA1.Pa2..........PA8, is

Correct Answer: 512

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is: 29 = 512
The vertices A1, A2, A3, ..., A8 of a regular octagon are positioned on a circle with a radius of 2. Consider Z as the result of evaluating (2) × (1) × (1/8), resulting in Z8 being equal to 28 × 1. 
Thus, the expression Z8 – 28 equals zero.MAX ( P1,P2,P8)=29 = 512

Introduction to Three Dimensional Geometry

In mathematics, Geometry is one of the most important topics. The concepts of Geometry are defined with respect to the planes. So, Geometry is divided into three categories based on its dimensions which are one-dimensional geometry, two-dimensional geometry, and three-dimensional geometry.

Direction Cosines and Direction Ratios of Line

Let's consider line ‘L’ is passing through the three-dimensional plane. Now, x,y, and z are the axes of the plane, and α,β, and γ are the three angles the line making with these axes. These are called the plane's direction angles. So, correspondingly, we can very well say that cosα, cosβ, and cosγ are the direction cosines of the given line L.
