A construction company has a job to knock down the old mall. They have a crane to help them do this. The mall roof is given by the equation .5x + y + 5z = 1. The crane is located at the point (0, 0, 0).
What is the distance between the roof and the crane?
Basically I have no idea how to start this, my teacher barely mentioned projections, though from googling that is all I can find on how to work out this problem. Anyone who could provide me with a couple of beginning steps would be greatly appreciated.
