8. Hyperboloid of One and Two Sheets and 
its Properties 
8.1 Find the vertices of the skew quadrilateral formed by the four generators of the 
hyperboloid 
?? ?? ?? +?? ?? -?? ?? =???? 
passing through (???? ,?? ,?? ) and (???? ,?? ,-?? ) . 
(2010 : 20 Marks) 
Solution: 
Given, the equation of hyperboloid is

-?? 2
=49 
It can be rewritten as 
(
?? 2
-?? )(
?? 2
+?? )=(7-?? )(7+?? ) 
? The equation of two systems of generating lines are : 
(
?? 2
-?? )=?? (7-?? ),?? (
?? 2
+?? )=(7+?? ) (1)
(
?? 2
-?? )=?? (7+?? ),?? (
?? 2

(1) and (2) pass through (10,5,1) and (14,2,-2) for ?? =2,?? =

 and ?? =

,?? =1. 
So, the two systems of generating lines are

(

8.2 Show that the generators through any one of the ends of an equiconjugate 
diameter of the principal elliptic section of the hyperboloid 
?? ?? ?? ?? +
?? ?? ?? ?? -
?? ?? ?? ?? =?? are 
inclined to each other at an angle of ????
°
 if ?? ?? +?? ?? =?? ?? ?? . Find also the condition 
for the generators to be perpendicular to each other. 
(2011 : 20 Marks) 
Solution: 
Let ( ?? cos ?? ,?? sin ?? ,0 ) be the given point on the diameter. 
The equations of the two generators through this point are 
?? -?? cos ?? ?? sin ?? =
?? -?? sin ?? -?? cos ?? =
?? ±?? 
The direction ratios of two generators are (?? sin ?? ,-?? cos ?? ,?? ) and (?? sin ?? ,-?? cos ?? ,-?? ) 
respectively. 
Let ?? be the angle between two generators and let ?? be the parameter of the end points 
of conjugate diameters.

which is the required condition for the generators to be perpendicular to each other.
