Distance Between a Point and a Plane Through a Point

Distance Between a Point and a Plane Through a Point

If a plane passes through $$P_0(x_0,y_0,z_0)$$ with normal vector $$\vec n=A\hat i+B\hat j+C\hat k$$, then its equation is:

$$A(x-x_0)+B(y-y_0)+C(z-z_0)=0$$

Usage

- Used to construct a plane before applying point-plane distance calculations.
