Find the distance between the given parallel planes. 4x − 5y z = 16, 8x − 10y 2z = 2

Sagot :

The distance between the two planes 4x-5y+z=16 and 8x-10y+2z=2 will be 2.34 units.

What is a plane?

A plane is a flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points on it would wholly lie.

Given equations are

[tex]4x-5y+z=16[/tex]

[tex]8x-10y+2z=2[/tex]

The distance between two planes is given by the formula:

[tex]D=\dfrac{|d_2-d_1|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}}[/tex]

Here from equations  

[tex]4x-5y+z=16[/tex]

[tex]8x-10y+2z=2[/tex]

We can also write the equation  [tex]8x-10y+2z=2[/tex]  as:

[tex]4x-5y+z=1[/tex]

So now the two equations are:

[tex]4x-5y+z=16[/tex]

[tex]4x-5y+z=1[/tex]

here a=4  b=-5  c =1 and d1=16  d2=1

Putting the values in the equation.

[tex]D=\dfrac{|-16+1|}{\sqrt{4^2+(-5)^2+(10^2)}}[/tex]

[tex]D=2.34[/tex]

Hence the distance between the two planes 4x-5y+z=16 and 8x-10y+2z=2 will be 2.34 units.
