Solution
`vec"d" = 12hat"i" + 3hat"j" - 4hat"k"`
p = 65
`hat"d" = vec"d"/|vec"d"|`
= `(12hat"i" + 3hat"j" - 4hat"k")/sqrt(144 + 9 + 16)`
= `(12hat"i" + 3hat"j" - 4hat"k")/13`
`vec"r"*hat"d"` = p
`vec"r"* ((12hat"i" + 3hat"j" - 4hat"k")/13)`
= `(65/13)`
= 5
Direction cosines of `vec"d"` are `(12/13, 3/13, (-4)/13)` and Length of the ⊥r from the origin = 5 units.
