Choose the correct answer from the given four options indicated against each of the Exercises the distance of point P (3, 4, 5) from the y z-plane is
(A) 3 units
(B) 4 units
(C) 5 units
(D) 550

Solution:

(A) 3 units

Explanation:

From basic ideas of three-dimensional geometry, it is known that $x$-coordinate of a point is its distance from $y z$ plane.

$\therefore$ The distance of Point $P (3, 4, 5)$ from $y z$ plane is given by its $x$ coordinate.

$\because$ $x$-coordinate of point $P = 3$

$\therefore$ The distance of $(3, 4, 5)$ from $y z$ plane is $3$ units

As a result, the corect option is (A).
