A plane passes through the points A 1 , 2 , 3 , B 2 , 3 , 1 and C 2 , 4 , 2 . If O is the origin and P is 2 , - 1 , 1 , then the projection of O P → on this plane is of length:
Options
- A2 5
- B2 7
- C2 3
- D2 11
Correct answer
D. 2 11
Step-by-step solution
Normal to plane n → = i ^ j ^ k ^ 1 1 - 2 0 1 1 = 3 i ^ - j ^ + k ^ O P → = 2 i ^ - j ^ + k ^ cos θ = 6 + 1 + 1 6 11 = 8 66 ⇒ sin θ = 2 66 ∴ Projection of O P → on plane = | O P → | sin θ = 2 11 option 4
