Write the distance of the point (3, –2, 3) from XY, YZ and XZ planes.

From the given information, A is a point with co-ordinates (3,-2, 3).



If you consider the projection of A(3,-2,3) on the XY-plane is H(3,-2,0) where the z-coordinate will not exist on XY-plane.


Similarly projection of A(3,-2,3) on the YZ-plane is T(0,-2,3) where the x-coordinate will not exist on YZ-plane.


The projection of A(3,-2,3) on the XZ-plane is T(3,0,3) where the x-coordinate will not exist on XZ-plane.


Now, the distance between A and XY-plane = Distance between points A&H


Distance between two points is given by


Using this formula,


Distance of point A from XY



= √ 32


= 3


Distance of point A from YZ



= √ 32


= 3


Distance of point A from XZ



= √ 22


= 2
