Name the octants in which the following points lie:
A (2, 3, 4), B (6, -3, 3), C (2, -1, -6), D (2, 2, -3), E (-1, 3, -6), F (-1, 3, 3), G (-3, -2,5) and H (-1,-2,-5).
Find the perpendicular distance of:
(i) A (2, -3, 4) from XY-plane
(ii) B (4, -3, 1) from ZX-plane
(iii) C (3, -2, -1) from YZ-plane
Perpendicular distance of point P from XY-plane = (∵ c>0)
Similarly, the perpendicular distances of P(a, b, c) from ZX-plane and YZ-plane are b and a respectively. According to the question, we have
∴ a + b - 2c = 0
Which is the required relation between a, b and c
