Question

In the figure given below, if the coordinates of the point P are (a, b, c), then what are the perpendicular distances of P from XY, YZ and ZX planes respectively?

Answer 1

Coordinates of point P(a, b, c)

Then, x - coordinate of P is the perpendicular distance of P from the YZ plane

y - Coordinate of P is the perpendicular distance between P and the XZ plane

z - Coordinate of P is the perpendicular distance of P from the XZ plane.

Perpendicular distance from XY - plane = c

Perpendicular distance from YZ - plane = o

Perpendicular distance from XZ - plane = b
