Find the equation of a plane which is at a distance of `3sqrt(3)` units from the origin and the normal to which is equally inclined with the coordinate axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `α` be the angleand `p=3sqrt3 ​`
Let `n=(cosα)i+(cosα)j​+(cosα)k`
Then,
`cos2α+cos2α+cos2α=1`
`⇒3cos2α=1`
`⇒cos2α=1/3​` ...
