Please Solve R.D.Sharma class 12 Chapter 27 Straight Line in Space Exercise 27.4 Question 4 Maths Textbook Solution.
Answer- The answer of the given question is
(Hint – By using the formula of a line joining the two points.)
Given- Perpendicular from A (1,0,4)drawn at line joining points B(0,-11,3) and C(2,
3,1).
Solution – D be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from A(1,0,4) to line joining
points B(0,-11,3) and C(2,-3,1).
Now, lets find the equation of the line which is formed by joining points B(0,-11,3) and C(2,-3,1).
::Co-ordinates of .
Hence,
Direction ratios of AD
And by comparing with given line equation, direction ratios of the given line are
( Hint – denominator terms of line equation).
= (2,8,-2)
AD is perpendicular at the given line. Therefore, By “ Conditions of Perpendicularity”.
; whereas a terms and b terms are direction ratio of lines which are perpendicular to each other.
:: Co-ordinates of D i.e.foot of the perpendicular.
By putting the value of in D co-ordinate equation, we get
