If the coordinates of A and B are (1, 2, 3) and (7, 8, 7), then the projections of the line segment A B on the coordinate axes are:

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The projection of a line segment joining (x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}) and (x_{2}, y_{2}, z_{2}) on the x, y, z axes are given by: ∣ x_{2} - x_{1} ∣, ∣ y_{2} - y_{1} ∣, ∣ z_{2} - z_{1} ∣ For A (1, 2, 3) and B (7, 8, 7) : X -projection = ∣7 - 1∣ = 6 Y -projection = ∣8 - 2∣ = 6 Z -projection = ∣7 - 3∣ = 4 The projections are 6, 6, 4 .

Try it yourself before checking the explanation above.

If the coordinates of A and B are (1, 2, 3) and (7, 8, 7), then the projections of the line segment A B on the coordinate axes are:

6, 6, 4

4, 6, 4

3, 3, 2

2, 3, 2
