Determine the direction cosines of the normal to the plane and the distance from the origin.
z = 2.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The plane z = 2 is that plane which is parallel to the XY plane and which is at a distance 2 units from the XY plane
`therefore` The z axis is a normal to the plane and its direction cosines are 0, 0, 1 A
Also the distance of the given plane from the origin = 2.
