A plane cuts the coordinate axes X, Y, Z at A , B, C respectively such that the centroid of the A B C is (6,6,3) . Then the equation of that plane is
Options
- Ax+y+z-6=0
- Bx+2 y+z-18=0
- C2 x+y+z-18=0
- Dx+y+2 z-18=0
Correct answer
D. x+y+2 z-18=0
Step-by-step solution
Let the equation of the plane is x a + y b + z c =1 By the definition of the centroi ( a 3 , b 3 , c 3 )=(6,6,3) Therefore, aligned a & =18 b & =18 c & =9 aligned The equation of the plane becomes array rlrl & & x 18 + y 18 + z 9 & =1 x+y+2 z 18 =1 & x+y+2 z & =18 x+y+2 z-18 & =0 array
