if the sum of the squares of the distance of the p
Question:
If the sum of the squares of the distance of the point $\text{P}(x, y, z)$ from the co-ordinate axes is 242 , then the distance of the point P from the origin is units.
Show Hint
Sum of squares of distances from axes = $2(x^2+y^2+z^2)$.

$\frac{121}{2}$
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is
B
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
Distance of point $P(x,y,z)$ from:
X-axis $= \sqrt{y^2 + z^2}$
Y-axis $= \sqrt{x^2 + z^2}$
Z-axis $= \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$
Step 1:
Square and add distances. \[ (y^2+z^2) + (x^2+z^2) + (x^2+y^2) \] \[ = 2(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) \]
Step 2:
Use given condition. \[ 2(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = 242 \] \[ x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 121 \]
Step 3:
Distance from origin. \[ OP = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} = \sqrt{121} = 11 \]
Step 4:
Conclusion. \[ {11} \]
