If 0 is the origin and A is (a,b,c), then find the direction cosines of the line OA and the equation of plane through A at right angle OA.
Since, DC's of line OA are a√a2+b2+c2,b√a2+b2+c2 and c√a2+b2+c2,
Also, →n=−−→OA=→a=ˆi+bˆj+cˆk
The equation of plane passes through (a,b,c) and perpendicular to OA is given by [→r−→a].→n=0.⇒→r.→n=→a.→n⇒[(xˆi+yˆj+zˆk).(aˆi+bˆj+cˆk)]=(aˆi+bˆj+cˆk)⇒ax+by+cz=a2+b2+c2
