The co-ordinates of a point H are (-2, 3, -4). Find
(i) The co-ordinates of the foot of perpendicular from this point to ZX-plane.
(ii) The co-ordinates of the foot of perpendicular from this point to the z-axis.
(iii) The length of perpendicular from this point to XY-plane.
Given points are : A(-2, 3, 5), B(1, 2, 3) and C(7, 0, -1)
Using distance formula, , we have
Now, AB + BC = = CA
Hence, points A, B, C are collinear.
