a cube has edges . say 4 vertices of one face are A,B,C,D and on the opp face, the vertices above A is E, above B is F . What is the distance between the midpoint of edge AB and the midpoint of edge EH if the area of square ABCD is 2?

* $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$
* 1
* $$\sqrt{2}$$
* $$\sqrt{3}$$
* $$2\sqrt{3}$$

* $$2\sqrt{3}$$

Distance between Mid point of AB (say X) and E. = $$sqrt{{sqrt(2)}^2 +{sqrt{1/2}}^2}$$ = sqrt{ 2+1/2}= sqrt{5/2}

Distance beween midpoint of AB and midpoint of EH = $$sqrt{sqrt(5/2)^2+sqrt(1/2)^2)$$$$= sqrt(3)$$
