The correct Answer is:
To find the perpendicular distance of the point (x, y, z) from the three coordinate planes in a three-dimensional space, we can analyze the distances from each plane separately. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coordinate Planes**: - The three coordinate planes in 3D are: - XY-plane (where z = 0) - YZ-plane (where x = 0) - XZ-plane (where y = 0) 2. **Distance from the XY-plane**: - The perpendicular distance of a point from the XY-plane is simply the z-coordinate of the point. - Therefore, the distance from the point (x, y, z) to the XY-plane is: \[ \text{Distance to XY-plane} = |z| \] - Since we are given that x, y, z are positive, we have: \[ \text{Distance to XY-plane} = z \] 3. **Distance from the YZ-plane**: - The perpendicular distance of a point from the YZ-plane is the x-coordinate of the point. - Thus, the distance from the point (x, y, z) to the YZ-plane is: \[ \text{Distance to YZ-plane} = |x| \] - Again, since x is positive, we have: \[ \text{Distance to YZ-plane} = x \] 4. **Distance from the XZ-plane**: - The perpendicular distance of a point from the XZ-plane is the y-coordinate of the point. - Therefore, the distance from the point (x, y, z) to the XZ-plane is: \[ \text{Distance to XZ-plane} = |y| \] - Since y is positive, we have: \[ \text{Distance to XZ-plane} = y \] ### Final Result: Thus, the perpendicular distances of the point (x, y, z) from the three coordinate planes are: - Distance to XY-plane: \( z \) - Distance to YZ-plane: \( x \) - Distance to XZ-plane: \( y \)
