Question 2.
(i) Find the vector equation of the Plane Passing through the intersection of the Planes \(\bar{r}\).(i + j + k) = 6 and \(\bar{r}\)(2i + 3j + 4k) = – 5 and through the point (1, 1, 1).
(ii) Express the vector equation \(\bar{r}\).(5i + 3j + 4k) = 0 of a Plane in Cartesian form and hence find its perpendicular distance from the origin. (May – 2011)
Answer:
(i) The Cartesian equation of the given planes are x + y + z – 6 = 0 and 2x + 3 – y + 4z + 5 = 0
The family of such planes is x + y + z – 6 + λ(2x + 3y+ 4z + 5) = 0…..(1)
Since it passes through (1, 1, 1)

Vector Equation is \(\bar{r}\).(20i + 23j + 26k) = 69

(ii) Cartesian Equation is ⇒ 5x + 3y + 4z = 0 Perpendicular distance from origin is
\(=\left|\frac{5 \times 0+3 \times 0+4 \times 0}{\sqrt{25+9+16}}\right|=0\)

Question 3.
Given the Plane 5x – 2y + 4z – 9 = 0
(i) Find the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the Plane.
(ii) Write the vector and Cartesian equation of this perpendicular. (May – 2011)
Answer:
(i) The equation of the perpendicular line to the given plane 5x – 2y + 4z – 9 = 0 and passing through the origin is
\(\begin{array}{l}
\frac{x-0}{5}=\frac{y-0}{-2}=\frac{z-0}{4}=\lambda \\
\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}=\frac{y}{-2}=\frac{z}{4}=\lambda
\end{array}\)
Hence any point on this line is (5λ, – 2λ, 4λ). Let this point be on the given plane then
⇒ 5(5λ) – 2( – 2λ) + 4(4λ) – 9 = 0
⇒ λ = 1/5
Then the foot of the perpendicular is
\(\left(5 \times \frac{1}{5},-2 \times \frac{1}{5}, 4 \times \frac{1}{5}\right) \Rightarrow\left(1,-\frac{2}{5}, \frac{4}{5}\right)\)
Since the line is perpendicular to the Plane and passes through the point \(\left(1,-\frac{2}{5}, \frac{4}{5}\right)\)
The Cartesian equation is \(\frac{x}{5}=\frac{y}{-2}=\frac{z}{4}\)
The Vector equation is \(\bar{r}\) = \(\bar{0}\) + λ(5i – 2j + 4k)

Question 4.
(i) The foot of the perpendicular from the origin to a Plane is P(4, – 2,5). Write \(\overline{O P}\)

The perpendicular distance from the origin is \(\sqrt{16+4+25}=\sqrt{45}\)
Vector equation of the Plane can be written as
\(\begin{array}{l}
\vec{r} \cdot \bar{m}=d \Rightarrow \bar{r} \cdot \frac{4 i-2 j+5 k}{\sqrt{45}}=\sqrt{45} \\

(ii) Then is perpendicular unit vector to the required plane is \(\frac{\overline{O P}}{\overline{O P} \mid}=\frac{4 i-2 j+5 k}{\sqrt{16+4+25}}=\frac{4 i-2 j+5 k}{\sqrt{45}}\)

The perpendicular distance from the origin is \(\sqrt{16+4+25}=\sqrt{45}\)
Vector equation of the Plane can be written as
\(\begin{array}{l}
\vec{r} \cdot \bar{m}=d \Rightarrow \bar{r} \cdot \frac{4 i-2 j+5 k}{\sqrt{45}}=\sqrt{45} \\
\Rightarrow \bar{r} .4 i-2 j+5 k=45

Plus Two Maths Three Dimensional Geometry 6 Marks Important Questions

Question 1.
(i) Find the shortest distance between the line \(\frac{x+1}{7}=\frac{y+1}{-6}=\frac{z+1}{1}\) and \(\frac{x-3}{1}=\frac{y-5}{-2}=\frac{z-7}{1}\)
(ii) Find the equation of the Plane passing through one point(-1, 3, 2) and ± r to the planes x + 2y + 3z = 5 and 3x + 3y + z = 0 (March – 2010)
Answer:

(ii) Let the equation of the plane be ax + by + cz + d = 0….(1)
Since (1) is perpendicular to 3x + 2y + 3z = 5, a + 2b + 3c = 0
Since (1) is perpendicular to 3x + 3y + z = 0
3a + 3b + c = 0
Using (2) and (3) we have;
\(\frac{a}{2-9}=\frac{-b}{1-9}=\frac{c}{3-6} \Rightarrow \frac{a}{-7}=\frac{b}{8}=\frac{c}{-3}\)
(1) = -7x + 8y – 3z + d = 0
Since (1) passes through (-1,3,2) we have;
⇒ -7 (-1) + 8(3) – 3(2) + d = 0
⇒ 7 + 24 – 6 + d = 0 = d = -25
Therefore the equation of the plane is
(1) ⇒ -7x + 8y – 3z – 25 = 0

Answer:

(ii) Since the Plane x + py + qz = 0 is perpendicular to the Line \(\frac{x-3}{2}=\frac{y-2}{3}=\frac{z-1}{1}\) we have their direction ratios proportional. Plane dr’s is 1, p, q and dr’s of Line is 2, 3, 1.

(d) Find the distance from (1,2,3) to the plane 2x + 3y – z + 2 = 0 (March – 2015)
Answer:
(a) Cartesian equation is [latex]\frac{x-x_{1}}{a}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{b}=\frac{z-z_{1}}{c}\), \(\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-3}{2}\)

(b) Let \(\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y-2}{1}=\frac{z-3}{2}=\lambda\)
x = 3λ + 1, y = λ + 2, z = 2λ + 3 are the general point of the line.

(c) Equation of the plane is 2x + 3y – z + 20….(1)
putting the values of x, y, z in (1) is
2(3λ + 1) – 3(λ + 2) – (2λ + 3) + 2 = 0
7λ + 7 = 0 ⇒ λ = -1
∴ Point of intersection is x = -3 + 1 = -2; y= -1 + 2 = 1, z= -2 + 3 = 1
ie; (-2, 1, 1)

(d) Distance = \(\frac{2(1)+3(2)-3+2}{\sqrt{4+9+1}}=\frac{7}{\sqrt{14}}\)
