Q22 of 50 Page 220

The distance of point P(3, 4, 5) from the yz-plane is

From basic ides of 3-D geometry, we know that-


x-coordinate of a point is its distance from yz plane.


∴ Distance of Point P(3, 4, 5) from yz plane is given by its x coordinate.


∵ x-coordinate of point P = 3


∴ Distance of (3, 4, 5) from yz plane is 3 units


Hence, option(A) is the only correct choice.
