Distance from Point to Plane

Distance Formula

This calculator finds the shortest distance from a point $(x_0, y_0, z_0)$ to a plane defined by the equation $Ax + By + Cz + D = 0$.

The Formula:

$$ \text{Distance} = \frac{|Ax_0 + By_0 + Cz_0 + D|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} $$

Where:

  • A, B, C are the coefficients of the normal vector to the plane.
  • D is the constant term of the plane equation.
  • $(x_0, y_0, z_0)$ are the coordinates of the point.
Disclaimer: This calculator is for educational purposes. At least one of A, B, or C must be non-zero.
