The figure shows the part of a plane in the first octant. It meets the axes at A(6, 0, 0), B(0, 3, 0) and C(0, 0, 2), with lengths in metres. What is the shortest distance from the origin to the plane?

Fig. 1: A three-dimensional picture with the x, y and z axes. A triangle with vertices A on the x-axis at 6, B on the y-axis at 3 and C on the z-axis at 2 is shaded orange. It is the part of a plane in the first octant. The origin O is marked, and a dashed red segment from O meets the plane at a right angle.

← Two sloping steel plates in a bridge frame lie in the planes x + 2y - z = 1 and 2x - y + z = 3. Where they meet, a weld seam runs along a straight line. A welder needs a vector that points along the seam. Which vector does she use?
Zara has two fair coins in a closed box. She shakes the box, and her brother sees through a small window that the first coin lies tails up. What is the chance that both coins lie tails up? →
