Let L1L_1 be the line of intersection of the planes given by the equations

2x+3y+z=4andx+2y+z=5.2x + 3y + z = 4 \quad \text{and} \quad x + 2y + z = 5.

Let L2L_2 be the line passing through the point P(2,1,3)P(2, -1, 3) and parallel to L1L_1. Let Π\Pi denote the plane given by the equation

2x+y2z=6.2x + y - 2z = 6.

Suppose that the line L2L_2 meets the plane Π\Pi at the point QQ. Let RR be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from PP to the plane Π\Pi.If the length of the line segment PQPQ is \ell and the area of PQR\triangle PQR is AA, find the value of 42A24\ell^2 A^2.\

[THOUGHT] The line L1L_1 is the intersection of the planes 2x+3y+z=42x+3y+z=4 and x+2y+z=5x+2y+z=5. Its direction vector is the cross product of the normals n1=(2,3,1)\mathbf{n}_1=(2,3,1) and n2=(1,2,1)\mathbf{n}_2=(1,2,1), giving d1=(1,1,1)\mathbf{d}_1=(1,-1,1).
L2L_2 passes through P(2,1,3)P(2,-1,3) and is parallel to d1\mathbf{d}_1. Its parametric equations:
x=2+t,  y=1t,  z=3+tx=2+t,\; y=-1-t,\; z=3+t.
Substituting into the plane Π:2x+y2z=6\Pi:2x+y-2z=6 gives t=9t=-9, so Q=(7,8,6)Q=(-7,8,-6).
The foot RR of the perpendicular from PP to Π\Pi is found using the foot formula. The plane is 2x+y2z6=02x+y-2z-6=0. With a=2,b=1,c=2,d=6a=2,b=1,c=-2,d=-6,
N=22+1(1)+(2)36=9N = 2\cdot2 + 1\cdot(-1) + (-2)\cdot3 -6 = -9, den=22+12+(2)2=9\text{den}=2^2+1^2+(-2)^2=9.
Thus R=(2,1,3)(9/9)(2,1,2)=(4,0,1)R = (2, -1, 3) - (-9/9)(2,1,-2) = (4,0,1).
Now =PQ=(9)2+92+(9)2=243=93\ell = |PQ| = \sqrt{(-9)^2+9^2+(-9)^2} = \sqrt{243} = 9\sqrt{3}, so 2=243\ell^2=243.
Vectors u=QP=(9,9,9)\mathbf{u}=Q-P=(-9,9,-9), v=RP=(2,1,2)\mathbf{v}=R-P=(2,1,-2).
Cross product u×v=(9,36,27)\mathbf{u}\times\mathbf{v}=(-9,-36,-27); its magnitude squared =81+1296+729=2106=81+1296+729=2106, so area A=122106=9226A=\frac12\sqrt{2106}= \frac{9}{2}\sqrt{26} and A2=10532A^2=\frac{1053}{2}.
Finally, 42A2=424310532=22431053=5117584\ell^2 A^2 = 4\cdot243\cdot\frac{1053}{2} = 2\cdot243\cdot1053 = 511758.
