Write the equation of a plane which is at a distance of `5sqrt(3)` units from origin and the normal to which is equally inclined to coordinate axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since, normal to the plane is equally inclined to the coordinate axis.
Therefore `cos alpha=cos beta=cos gamma=1/(sqrt(3))`
So, the normal is `vecN=1/(sqrt(3))hati+1/(sqrt(3))hatj+1/(sqrt(3))hatk` and plane is at a distance of `3sqrt(3)` units from origin.
The equation of plane is `vecr.vecN=3sqrt(3) [ :' vecN=(vecN)/(|N|)]`
[since vector equation of the plane at a distance `p` from the origin is `vecr.vecN=p`]
`implies(xhati+yhatj+zhatk).((1/(sqrt(3))hati+1/(sqrt(3)hatj+1/(sqrt93))hatk))/1=3sqrt(3)`
`implies x/(sqrt(3))+y/(sqrt(3))+z/(sqrt(3))=3sqrt(3)`
`:. x+y+z=3sqrt(3).sqrt(3)=9`
So, the required equation fo plane is `x+y+z=9`.
