In this worksheet, we will practice using the properties of parallel and perpendicular planes to solve problems.
Q1:
and are two parallel planes, where is a point between the two planes. Two straight lines are drawn from the point such that one intersects the planes and at points and respectively, and the other intersects the planes and at points and respectively. If and the surface area of , find the surface area of .
- A 300 cm2
- B 150 cm2
- C 1βββ350 cm2
- D 50 cm2
Q2:
and are two parallel planes, and , , and are drawn to intersect the plane at the points , , and , respectively, and the plane at the points , , and , respectively, where the point doesnβt belong to any of the planes. Given that , , , and , determine the area of the .
Q3:

Q5:
, , and are three parallel planes intersected by two coplanar straight lines and such that . If , find the length of .
Q6:
