A mobile tower stands at the top of a hill. Consider the surface on which the tower stands as a plane having points A (1, 0, 2),
B (3, –1, 1) and C (1, 2, 1) on it. The mobile tower is tied with 3 cables from the point A, B and C such that it stands vertically on the ground. The top of the tower is at the point (2, 3, 1) as shown in the figure.
