The distance of the point \( P(a, b, c) \) from the \( x \)-axis is

  1. A \( \sqrt{b^{2}+c^{2}} \)
  2. B \( \sqrt{a^{2}+c^{2}} \)
  3. C \( \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}} \)
  4. D \( 1 a \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( \sqrt{b^{2}+c^{2}} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given points \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c})\) and \(\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{a}, 0,0)\)
So, distance is given by
\(\sqrt{0^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}\)
\(=\sqrt{b^{2}+c^{2}}\)
