The coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point `P(3, 45)on` the yz-plane are a. (3,4,0) b. (0,7,0) c. (0,0,8) d. (0,7,8)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct option is `B (0, 4, 5)` We know that the x-coordinates on the `yz`-plane is `0. `
The coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point `P(3, 4, 5)` on the `yz`-plane are `(0, 4, 5)`
