Answer to Problem 70RE
The distance between the given point and the plane is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given point is
Formula used: The formula used to calculate the distance between the point P and the plane Q is:
Here,
Calculation:
The general equation of the plane is,
Substitute 0 for
So, a point on the plane be
The distance between a plane and the point can be calculated as:
Compare the given equation with the general form of the equation of plane
Substitute all the values in equation (1).
Therefore, the distance between the given point and the plane is
