Hi!
You have not clearly mentioned the coordinate of the point on
the x-axis from which the distance to the point (3, 4, 5) is
to be calculated If the question is “Find the shortest
distance of the point (3, 4, 5) from the x-axis ”,
then here is the answer
The shortest distance between of the point (3, 4, 5) from
x-axis is the perpendicular distance to the x-axis
from (3, 4, 5) The perpendicular from (3, 4, 5) to the
x-axis intersects on it at the point (3, 0, 0)
