Question

For what value of a is the volume of the tetrahedron formed by the coordinate planes and the plane (x/a) (y/10) (z/6)

Answer 1

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

For what value of a is the volume of the tetrahedron formed by the coordinate planes and the plane (x/a) + (y/10) + (z/6) = 1 equal to 10?

Answer: the value of a is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Volume of tetrahedron bounded by plane (x/a) + (y/10) + (z/6) = 1

and coordinate plane is; V = 1/6|abc|

(x/a) + (y/10) + (z/6) = 1

volume = 10

so

10 = 1/6 | a × 10 × 6 |

60 = a × 10 × 6

60 = 60a

a = 60 / 60

a = 1

Therefore the value of a is 1
