Find the length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane
Also write the unit normal vector from the origin to the plane.
Given :
Equation of plane : ![]()
To Find :
i) Length of perpendicular = d
ii) Unit normal vector = ![]()
Formulae :
1) Unit Vector :
Let
be any vector
Then unit vector of
is
![]()
Where, ![]()
2) Length of perpendicular :
The length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane
is given by,
![]()
Given the equation of the plane is
![]()
![]()
![]()
Comparing the above equation with
![]()
We get,
& p = 39
Therefore,
![]()
![]()
![]()
= 13
The length of the perpendicular from the origin to the given plane is
![]()
![]()
![]()
Vector normal to the plane is
![]()
Therefore, the unit vector normal to the plane is
![]()
![]()
![]()
