Extract

Applying this method we evaluate (see Fig. 1) the projections of the vector (the height at P2 of the given triangle), and also the co-ordinates of the point in which the perpendicular form

the origin meets the plane of the triangle. In this way, as will be shown, we find immediately the co-ordinates of the perpendicular projection of the given point P2(x2, y2, z2) on the straight line passing through P3 and P1, and also the equation of the plane of the triangle.
