If the equation of a floor of a room is given by $x+y-z+4=0$ and the equation of roof is given by $x+y-z+5=0$. Then, the height of the room is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Equation of plane
$P_1 : x + y - z + 4 = 0$
$P_2 : x + y - z + 5 = 0$
for this case
a = 1
b = 1
c = -1
So $d_1 = 4$
$d_2 = 5$
Distance between parallel plain P1 and P2
= height of room = $\frac{|d_2-d_1|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{|5-4|}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2+(-1)^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
