Question

The length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane passing through three non-collinear points a comma b comma c is

  1. fraction numerator left square bracket a b c right square bracket over denominator vertical line a cross times b plus c cross times a plus b cross times c vertical line end fraction    
  2. fraction numerator 2 left square bracket a b c right square bracket over denominator vertical line a cross times b plus b cross times c plus c cross times a vertical line end fraction    
  3. left square bracket a b c right square bracket    
  4. None of these    

The correct answer is: fraction numerator left square bracket a b c right square bracket over denominator vertical line a cross times b plus c cross times a plus b cross times c vertical line end fraction


    The vector equation of the plane passing through points a comma b comma c is r. left parenthesis a cross times b plus b cross times c plus c cross times a right parenthesis equals left square bracket a   b   c right square bracket
    Therefore, the length of the perpendicular from the origin to this plane is given by fraction numerator left square bracket a b c right square bracket over denominator vertical line a cross times b plus b cross times c plus c cross times a vertical line end fraction.
