264. Prove that if a plane has the intercepts a, b, c and is at a distance p units from the origin, then $1 over straight a squared plus 1 over straight b squared plus 1 over straight c squared space equals space 1 over straight p squared.$

The equation of plane with intercepts a, b, c is

straight x over straight a plus straight y over straight b plus straight z over straight c equals space 1 space space space space space space space space or space space space straight x over straight a plus straight y over straight b plus straight z over straight c minus 1 space equals space 0

From the given condition,
