The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will break it down into two parts as given in the question. ### Part (I): Finding the foot and length of the perpendicular from the point (3, 4, 5) to the plane \(2x - 5y + 3z = 39\). #### Step 1: Identify the coefficients and the point The equation of the plane is given as \(2x - 5y + 3z - 39 = 0\). Here, we have: - \(a = 2\) - \(b = -5\) - \(c = 3\) - \(d = -39\) The point \(P\) is given as \((x_1, y_1, z_1) = (3, 4, 5)\). #### Step 2: Calculate the length of the perpendicular The formula for the length \(L\) of the perpendicular from a point to a plane is given by: \[ L = \frac{|ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}} \] Substituting the values: \[ L = \frac{|2(3) - 5(4) + 3(5) - 39|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-5)^2 + 3^2}} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ = |6 - 20 + 15 - 39| = |-38| = 38 \] Calculating the denominator: \[ = \sqrt{4 + 25 + 9} = \sqrt{38} \] Thus, the length \(L\) is: \[ L = \frac{38}{\sqrt{38}} = \sqrt{38} \] #### Step 3: Find the foot of the perpendicular The coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular \(Q\) can be found using the formula: \[ \frac{x - x_1}{a} = \frac{y - y_1}{b} = \frac{z - z_1}{c} = -\frac{ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d}{a^2 + b^2 + c^2} \] Calculating the right-hand side: \[ -\frac{-38}{38} = 1 \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{x - 3}{2} = \frac{y - 4}{-5} = \frac{z - 5}{3} = 1 \] From this, we can find \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\): 1. \(x - 3 = 2 \implies x = 5\) 2. \(y - 4 = -5 \implies y = -1\) 3. \(z - 5 = 3 \implies z = 8\) So, the foot of the perpendicular \(Q\) is \((5, -1, 8)\). ### Summary for Part (I): - Length of the perpendicular: \(\sqrt{38}\) - Foot of the perpendicular: \((5, -1, 8)\) --- ### Part (II): Finding the length and the foot of the perpendicular from the point (7, 14, 5) to the plane \(2x + 4y - z = 2\). #### Step 1: Identify the coefficients and the point The equation of the plane is given as \(2x + 4y - z - 2 = 0\). Here, we have: - \(a = 2\) - \(b = 4\) - \(c = -1\) - \(d = -2\) The point \(P\) is given as \((x_1, y_1, z_1) = (7, 14, 5)\). #### Step 2: Calculate the length of the perpendicular Using the same formula for length \(L\): \[ L = \frac{|ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}} \] Substituting the values: \[ L = \frac{|2(7) + 4(14) - 5 - 2|}{\sqrt{2^2 + 4^2 + (-1)^2}} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ = |14 + 56 - 5 - 2| = |63| = 63 \] Calculating the denominator: \[ = \sqrt{4 + 16 + 1} = \sqrt{21} \] Thus, the length \(L\) is: \[ L = \frac{63}{\sqrt{21}} = 3\sqrt{21} \] #### Step 3: Find the foot of the perpendicular Using the same formula for the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular \(Q\): \[ \frac{x - 7}{2} = \frac{y - 14}{4} = \frac{z - 5}{-1} = -\frac{ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d}{a^2 + b^2 + c^2} \] Calculating the right-hand side: \[ -\frac{63}{21} = -3 \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{x - 7}{2} = \frac{y - 14}{4} = \frac{z - 5}{-1} = -3 \] From this, we can find \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\): 1. \(x - 7 = -6 \implies x = 1\) 2. \(y - 14 = -12 \implies y = 2\) 3. \(z - 5 = 3 \implies z = 8\) So, the foot of the perpendicular \(Q\) is \((1, 2, 8)\). ### Summary for Part (II): - Length of the perpendicular: \(3\sqrt{21}\) - Foot of the perpendicular: \((1, 2, 8)\) ---
