Write the distance of the plane
from the origin.
The plane is given as,
.
We can write the equation of the plane in general form as,
2x - y + 2z - 12=0 …………… (1)
![]()
Now, to get the normal form of a plane given in general form as, Ax + By + Cz + D=0 where
…… (2), we have to divide the equation (1) by
, where
is the normal vector given as, ![]()
Now, ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Comparing equation (1) with equation (2), we get, D= - 12
So, the distance between the plane and the origin (using formula)
![]()
![]()
![]()
p=4
The distance between the plane and the origin is 4 units.
