Let
be a finite set of points in three-dimensional space. Let
be the sets consisting of the orthogonal projections of the points of
onto the
-plane,
-plane,
-plane, respectively. Prove that
where
denotes the number of elements in the finite set
.
Note Note: The orthogonal projection of a point onto a plane is the foot of the perpendicular from that point to the plane.
