Expert Solution
Step 1: We are using the formula

To find the distance from a point to the xz-plane, we are using the formula for the distance between a point and a plane.

The xz-plane is defined by the equation y=0.

The formula for the distance d between a point (x0,y0,z0) and a plane with equation Ax+By+Cz+D=0 is given by

d=|Ax0+By0+Cz0+D|A2+B2+C2
