• The length of the projection of the line segment joining (1, 3,-1) and (3, 2, 4) on z axis is​

Answered by admin @



Answer: √30 units

Given two points in 3d space as,

  • A (1, 3, -1) and B (3, 2, 4)

We have to find the distance between the two points or just projection of the line line segment.

In a 3d space, the distance between two points A(x₁, y₁, z₁) and B(x, y, z₂) is given by the formula,

⇒ AB = √{ (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² + (z₂ - z₁)² }

Substituting the required values in the formula, we get

⇒ AB = √{ (3 - 1)² + (2 - 3)² + (4 - (-1))² }

⇒ AB = √{ (2)² + (-1)² + (5)² }

⇒ AB = √( 4 + 1 + 25 )

⇒ AB = √30

∴ The length of projection of the line segment formed by joining the given points is 30 units.

Some Information:-

Distance of two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) in a 2d plane is given by,

  • AB = { (x₂ - x)² + (y - y)² }
