Hence the triangle is isosceles.
Let L be the foot of perpendicular segment from the point P (x,y,z) on XY plane
Now since L is the foot of perpendicular on XY plane so z coordinate will be zero so the point L will be (x,y,0)
then distance between these two will be = = |z|
Hence an increasing function.
We have any line of the form x=a constant is a line parallel to Y-axis.
then det. A is equal to
