MCQ
Choose the correct answer. What is the length of foot of perpendicular drawn from the point P(3, 4, 5) on y-axis.
  • A
    $\sqrt{41}$
  • $\sqrt{34}$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $\text{None of these.}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\sqrt{34}$
We know that, on the y-axis x = 0 and z = 0.
$\therefore$ Point $\text{A}\equiv(0,4,0)$
$\therefore\text{PA}=\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(4-4)^2+(0-5)^2}$
$=\sqrt{9+0+25}=\sqrt{34}$
