Question

Find the distance from $\left(4,-2,6\right)$ to each of the following:

The $xy-$plane

Answer 1

To find the distance:

For the $xy-$plane, the $z-$coordinate is $0$.

So, the distance from the given point $\left(4,-2,6\right)$ to $xy-$plane is the $z-$coordinate.

Hence, the distance between the point $\left(4,-2,6\right)$ and the $xy-$plane is $\mathit{6}$ units.
