Question:
Coordinate planes and the planes \( \pi_1, \pi_2, \pi_3 \), which are respectively parallel to YZ, ZX, XY planes at distances a, b, c, form a rectangular parallelepiped. If \( d_1 \) is a diagonal of the face on XY-plane not passing through origin and \( d_2 \) is diagonal of plane \( \pi_2 \), then the cosine of the angle between \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \) is:

- \( \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \)
- \( \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}} \)
- \( \frac{\pi}{2} \)
- \( \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}} \)

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The cosine of the angle between two vectors is given by the dot product formula. By considering the geometry of the rectangular parallelepiped and the diagonals, we get the cosine as \( \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}} \).
