What is the length of the perpendicular ...

What is the length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane `ax+by+sqrt(ab)z=1`?

A

1/(ab)

B

1/(a+b)

C

a + b

D

ab

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Length of perpendicular from the origin to the plane
`ax+by+sqrt(2ab)z-1=0` is
`=abs((0+0+0-1)/sqrt(a^2+b^2+2ab))=1/sqrt((a+b))^2=1/((a+b))`
