If the distance of the point from the plane , where , is 5 , then the foot of the perpendicular from to the plane is
- (A)✓ Correct
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (A)
Solution
The distance from point to the plane is:
Given :
Since , we have , so:
The plane equation is .
The line through perpendicular to the plane has direction ratios :
So the foot is at .
Substituting into the plane equation:
Thus .
