    (c) $\sqrt{26}$

    (d) None of these

    ›Reveal solutionSolution

    The distance from a point to the $x$-axis depends only on its $y$ and $z$ coordinates (the $x$-coordinate doesn't matter, since the foot of the perpendicular slides along the axis).

    For a point $(x, y, z)$, its perpendicular distance from the $x$-axis is:

    $d = \sqrt{y^2 + z^2}$
