Question

Let A be the foot of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane x - 2 y + 2 z + 6 = 0 and B 0 , - 1 , - 4 be a point on the plane. Then, the length of A B is, 13 units, 15 units, 4 units, 17 units

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

From the diagram O B = 0 + 1 + 16 = 17 O A = 0 - 0 + 0 + 6 1 + 4 + 4 = 2 ∵ ∆ O A B is right angled triangle A B = O B 2 - O A 2 = 13 units
