If Axy,Ayz,Azx be the area of projections of an area A on the xy,yz abd zx planes respectively, then considering →A, a vector quantity whose direction in normal to surface A and its component along the coordinate axes be Ax,Ay and Az such that →A=Axi+Ayj+Azk, therefore we can say |Ax|=Azy,∣∣Ay∣∣=Axz,|Az|=Axy and hence the area ∣∣∣→A∣∣∣=√Ax2+Ay2+Az2⇒A2=Axy2+Ayz2+Azx2
A plane makes intercepts
a,b,c on
x,y,z axes respectively, then twice the area of
△ABC including both its sides
(a,b,c are +ve
) is
