This space is fundamentally structured by three mutually perpendicular coordinate planes: the xy-plane, the yz-plane, and the xz-plane. The projection of a point onto one of these planes is the location where a perpendicular line from the point intersects the plane. This projected point can be thought of as the shadow cast by the original point onto the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Projection onto the xy-Plane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The xy-plane is the set of all points for which the z-coordinate is zero (z = 0). To project a point (x\u2080, y\u2080, z\u2080) onto this plane, one must find the point on the plane that is closest to it. This is achieved by dropping a perpendicular from the point to the plane. A line perpendicular to the xy-plane is parallel to the z-axis. Along such a line, the x and y-coordinates do not change. Therefore, the projection is found by simply setting the z-coordinate to zero. For the given point (1, 3, 4), its projection onto the xy-plane is (1, 3, 0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Projection onto the yz-Plane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The yz-plane is defined by the equation x = 0. A line perpendicular to this plane is parallel to the x-axis. To find the projection of a point (x\u2080, y\u2080, z\u2080) onto the yz-plane, the x-coordinate must be set to zero, while the y and z-coordinates are preserved. Applying this to the point (1, 3, 4), its x-coordinate of 1 is replaced with 0, yielding the projection (0, 3, 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Projection onto the xz-Plane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the xz-plane consists of all points where the y-coordinate is zero (y = 0). A line perpendicular to the xz-plane is parallel to the y-axis. Consequently, projecting a point onto this plane involves retaining the original x and z-coordinates and setting the y-coordinate to zero. For the point (1, 3, 4), its projection onto the xz-plane is therefore (1, 0, 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner4-855.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-231207\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider the point.
