The Plane Exercise: 28.9

The Plane Exercise 28.9 Question 1

Answer : $\frac{47}{13}$
Hint : $\text { Distance }=\frac{\left|A x_{1}+B y_{1}+C z_{1}+D\right|}{\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}+C^{2}}}$
Given : Point $(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-4 \hat{k})$ from the plane vector $\vec{r} \cdot(3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k})=9$
Solution :
For the given plane
Vector, $\vec{r} \cdot(3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k})=9$
Cartesian form is
$3 x-4 y+12 z=9$
We can write as,
$3 x-4 y+12 z-9=0$
The point given is $(2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}-4 \hat{k})$
Which can be written as $(2,-1,-4)$
We know that
$\begin{aligned} &\text { Distance }=\frac{\left|A x_{1}+B y_{1}+C z_{1}+D\right|}{\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}+C^{2}}} \\ &\text { Distance }=\frac{|(2 \times 3)+(-1 \times-4)+(-4 \times 12)+(-9)|}{\sqrt{3^{2}+(-4)^{2}+12^{2}}} \end{aligned}$
So we get,
$=\frac{|6+4-48-9|}{\sqrt{9+16+144}}$
On further calculation
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{|-47|}{\sqrt{169}} \\ \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{47}{13} \text { Units } \end{aligned}$

The Plane Exercise 28.9 Question 2

Answer : The given points are equidistant from the plane
Hint : $\text { Distance }=\frac{\left|A x_{1}+B y_{1}+C z_{1}+D\right|}{\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}+C^{2}}}$
Given :
Two points $(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k})$ and $(3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})$ , plane $\vec{r} \cdot(5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k})+9=0$
Solution :
Points given by the equation
$\vec{a}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}, \vec{b}=3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$
Plane given by the equation
$\vec{r} \cdot(5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k})+9=0$ , where the normal is $\vec{n}=5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k}$
We know, the distance of $\vec{a}$ from the plane $\vec{r} \cdot \vec{n}-d=0$ Is given by
$p=\left|\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{n}-d}{|\vec{n}|}\right|$
Distance of $\hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$ from the plane
$\begin{aligned} &=\left|\frac{(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \cdot(5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k})+9}{|5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k}|}\right| \\ &=\frac{9}{\sqrt{78}} \text { Units } \end{aligned}$
And,
Distance of $3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$ from the plane
$=\left|\frac{(3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \cdot(5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k})+9}{|5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k}|}\right|$
$= \frac{9}{\sqrt{78}}$ Units
The point $\hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \; \text {and} \; 3 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$ are equidistant from the plane
$\vec{r} \cdot(5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k})+9=0$

The Plane Exercise 28.9 Question 3

Answer : The answer of the given question is 3 units
Hint : $P=\left|\frac{a x_{1}+b y_{1}+c z_{1}+d}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}}\right|$
Given :
Point $A(2,3,-5)$
Plane $x+2 y-2 z-9=0$
Solution :
We know, the distance of point $\left(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}\right)$ from the plane
$a x+b y+c z+d=0$ Is given by
$P=\left|\frac{a x_{1}+b y_{1}+c z_{1}+d}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}}\right|$
Putting the necessary values
Distance of the plane from $A=\left|\frac{1 \times 2+2 \times 3+(-2) \times(-5)-9}{\sqrt{1^{2}+2^{2}+(-2)^{2}}}\right|=3 \text { Units }$
Hence the distance of the plane $(2,3,-5)$ from the plane $x+2 y-2 z-9=0$ is 3 units

We know, the distance of point $\left(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}\right)$ from the plane $a x+b y+c z+d=0$ given by
$P=\left|\frac{a x_{1}+b y_{1}+c z_{1}+d}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}}\right|$
According to the question, the distance of the plane from $(2,1,1)$ is 2 units
$\begin{aligned} &\left|\frac{1 \times 2+2 \times 1+(-2) \times(1)+\theta}{\sqrt{1^{2}+2^{2}+(-2)^{2}}}\right|=2 \\ &\left|\frac{2+\theta}{3}\right|=2 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\frac{2+\theta}{3}=2 \text { Or } \frac{2+\theta}{3}=-2 \\ &\theta=4 \text { Or } \theta=-8 \end{aligned}$
Hence the required planes are
$\begin{aligned} &x+2 y-2 z+4=0 \\ &x+2 y-2 z-8=0 \end{aligned}$

Distance of $(1,1,1)$ from the plane $=\left|\frac{3 \times 1+4 \times 1+(-12) \times 1+13}{\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}+(-12)^{2}}}\right|=\frac{8}{13} \text { Units }$
Distance of $(-3,0,1)$ from the plane $=\left|\frac{3 \times(-3)+4 \times 0+(-12) \times 1+13}{\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}+(-12)^{2}}}\right|=\frac{8}{13} \text { Units }$
The points $(1,1,1) \&(-3,0,1)$ are equidistant from the plane $3 x+4 y-12 z+13=0$

We know, distance of $\left(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}\right)$ from the origin is $\sqrt{x_{1}^{2}+y_{1}^{2}+z_{1}^{2}}$
Putting values of $x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}=1$
Required distance $=\sqrt{3}$
Distance of the point $(1,1,1)$ from plane $x-y+z+\lambda=0$

According to the question
$\begin{aligned} &\left|\frac{1+\lambda}{\sqrt{3}}\right| \times \sqrt{3}=5 \\ &|1+\lambda|=5 \\ &1+\lambda=5 \text { Or } 1+\lambda=-5 \\ &\lambda=4 \text { Or } \lambda=-6 \end{aligned}$
$\lambda = 4$ [ $\lambda \neq -6$ Because distance cannot be negative]

$\begin{aligned} &15 x-20 y+60 z-30=52 x+39 z-91 ; 15 x-20 y+60 z-30=-52 x-39 z+91 \\ &37 x+20 y-21 z=61 ; 67 x-20 y+99 z=121 \end{aligned}$

Answer : $2\sqrt{2}$
Hint :
$P=\left|\frac{a x_{1}+b y_{1}+c z_{1}+d}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}}\right|$
Given : We have to find the distance of the point $(1,-2,4)$ from the plane passing through the point $(1,2,2)$
Solution : Let us consider the equation of plane passing through the point $(1,2,2)$ be
$a(x-1)+b(y-2)+c(z-2)=0$ (1)
The direction ratios of the normal to the plane are a, b and c
The equation of the plane are
$\begin{aligned} &x-y+2 z=3 \\ &2 x-2 y+z+12=0 \end{aligned}$
Since the plane passing through the point $(1,2,2)$ is perpendicular the given plane
Therefore,
$\begin{aligned} &a-b+2 c=0\\ &2 a-2 b+c=0 \end{aligned}$
Now, eliminating a, b and c from (1), (2) and (3)
We get
$\begin{aligned} &\left|\begin{array}{ccc} x-1 & y-2 & z-2 \\ 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 2 & -2 & 1 \end{array}\right|=0 \\ &(x-1)(-1+4)-(y-2)(1-4)+(z-2)(-2+2)=0 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &3(x-1)+3(y-2)+0=0 \\ &3 x-3+3 y-6=0 \\ &3 x+3 y-9=0 \\ &x+y-3=0 \end{aligned}$
Now using distance formula
The distance of the point $(1,-2,4)$ from the plane $x+y-3=0$ is
$\begin{aligned} &=\left|\frac{1-2-3}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+0^{2}}}\right| \\ &=\left|\frac{-4}{\sqrt{2}}\right| \\ &=2 \sqrt{2} \text { Units } \end{aligned}$
