Question:

A point $P$ moves so that the sum of squares of its distances from the points $(1,2)$ and $(-2,1)$ is $14$. Let $f(x, y)=0$ be the locus of $P$, which intersects the $x$-axis at the points $A , B$ and the $y$-axis at the point $C, D$. Then the area of the quadrilateral $ACBD$ is equal to

Coordinates of a Point in Space

Three-dimensional space is also named 3-space or tri-dimensional space.

It is a geometric setting that carries three values needed to set the position of an element. In Mathematics and Physics, a sequence of ‘n’ numbers can be acknowledged as a location in ‘n-dimensional space’. When n = 3 it is named a three-dimensional Euclidean space.

The Distance Formula Between the Two Points in Three Dimension is as follows;

The distance between two points P1 and P2 are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) respectively in the XY-plane is expressed by the distance formula,
