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 : |
$\frac{1}{6}$ units $\frac{1}{3}$ units $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ units $\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}$ units |
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ units |
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 = $\frac{|d_2-d_1|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{|5-4|}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2+(-1)^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ |
