The distance of the point with position vector $(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k})$ from the plane $\vec{r} . (-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+3 \hat{k})=8$ is : |
$\frac{7}{\sqrt{14}}$ $2 \sqrt{14}$ $\sqrt{14}$ $\frac{\sqrt{14}}{7}$ |
$\sqrt{14}$ |
Point → $(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}) ≡ P(2, 1, -1)$ Plane → $\vec{r}(-2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) = 8$ ⇒ $(x \hat{i}+y \hat{i}+z \hat{k})(-2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+3 \hat{k})-8=0$ $\Rightarrow -2 x+y+3 z-8=0$ → equation of plane as for point (x0, y0, z0) and plane Ax + By + Cz + D = 0 $d=\frac{\left|A x_0+B y_0+C z_0+D\right|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2+C^2}}$ so distance $=\frac{|-2(2)+(1)+3(-1)-8|}{\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2+3^2}}$ $=\frac{14}{\sqrt{14}}$ $=\sqrt{14}$ |
