Find the length of the foot of perpendicular drawn from the point P(a, b, c) on x-axis, y-axis and
z-axis respectively.

To find the lengths of the perpendiculars drawn from the point \( P(a, b, c) \) to the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Finding the foot of the perpendicular from point P to the x-axis The x-axis consists of points of the form \( (x, 0, 0) \). The foot of the perpendicular from point \( P(a, b, c) \) to the x-axis will have the same x-coordinate as point P, and the y and z coordinates will be zero. Thus, the foot of the perpendicular on the x-axis is: \[ F_x = (a, 0, 0) \] ...
