The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problems, we will use the formula for the distance from a point to a plane in three-dimensional geometry. ### Problem (i): Find the distance from the point (1, 2, 3) to the plane \(2x + 3y - z + 2 = 0\). 1. **Identify the coefficients from the plane equation**: The equation of the plane is given as \(2x + 3y - z + 2 = 0\). Here, we can identify: - \(a = 2\) - \(b = 3\) - \(c = -1\) - \(d = 2\) 2. **Use the distance formula**: The formula for the distance \(D\) from a point \((x_1, y_1, z_1)\) to the plane \(ax + by + cz + d = 0\) is given by: \[ D = \frac{|ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}} \] Substituting the point \((1, 2, 3)\) into the formula: - \(x_1 = 1\) - \(y_1 = 2\) - \(z_1 = 3\) Now, calculate: \[ D = \frac{|2(1) + 3(2) - 1(3) + 2|}{\sqrt{2^2 + 3^2 + (-1)^2}} \] 3. **Calculate the numerator**: \[ 2(1) + 3(2) - 1(3) + 2 = 2 + 6 - 3 + 2 = 7 \] Thus, the absolute value is \(|7| = 7\). 4. **Calculate the denominator**: \[ \sqrt{2^2 + 3^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9 + 1} = \sqrt{14} \] 5. **Combine the results**: \[ D = \frac{7}{\sqrt{14}} = \frac{7\sqrt{14}}{14} = \frac{\sqrt{14}}{2} \] ### Problem (ii): Find the length of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane \(2x - 3y + 6z + 21 = 0\). 1. **Identify the coefficients from the plane equation**: The equation of the plane is \(2x - 3y + 6z + 21 = 0\). Here, we can identify: - \(a = 2\) - \(b = -3\) - \(c = 6\) - \(d = 21\) 2. **Use the distance formula**: The distance \(D\) from the origin \((0, 0, 0)\) to the plane is given by: \[ D = \frac{|a(0) + b(0) + c(0) + d|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}} \] 3. **Calculate the numerator**: \[ D = \frac{|0 + 0 + 0 + 21|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-3)^2 + 6^2}} = \frac{21}{\sqrt{4 + 9 + 36}} = \frac{21}{\sqrt{49}} = \frac{21}{7} = 3 \] ### Final Answers: 1. The distance from the point (1, 2, 3) to the plane \(2x + 3y - z + 2 = 0\) is \(\frac{\sqrt{14}}{2}\) units. 2. The length of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane \(2x - 3y + 6z + 21 = 0\) is \(3\) units.
