[THOUGHT] Let me solve this step by step.
- First, I need to find the direction vector of line (intersection of the two planes).
- Then find line passing through parallel to .
- Find point where meets plane .
- Find point , the foot of perpendicular from to plane .
- Calculate and area of triangle .
- Finally compute .
Let me use Python to do these calculations. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] import numpy as np from numpy.linalg import norm
Plane 1: 2x + 3y + z = 4, normal n1 = (2, 3, 1)
Plane 2: x + 2y + z = 5, normal n2 = (1, 2, 1)
n1 = np.array([2, 3, 1]) n2 = np.array([1, 2, 1])
Direction of L1 is n1 × n2
d1 = np.cross(n1, n2) print("Direction of L1:", d1)
L2 passes through P(2, -1, 3) with direction d1
P = np.array([2, -1, 3])
Parametric form of L2: (2 + d1[0]*t, -1 + d1[1]*t, 3 + d1[2]*t)
Plane Pi: 2x + y - 2z = 6
Substitute L2 into Pi:
2(2 + d1[0]*t) + (-1 + d1[1]*t) - 2(3 + d1[2]*t) = 6
4 + 2*d1[0]*t - 1 + d1[1]t - 6 - 2d1[2]*t = 6
(2d1[0] + d1[1] - 2d1[2])*t + (4 - 1 - 6) = 6
(2d1[0] + d1[1] - 2d1[2])*t - 3 = 6
(2d1[0] + d1[1] - 2d1[2])*t = 9
coeff_t = 2d1[0] + d1[1] - 2d1[2] print("Coefficient of t:", coeff_t)
t_Q = 9 / coeff_t print("t for Q:", t_Q)
Q = P + t_Q * d1 print("Point Q:", Q)
Length PQ
PQ = Q - P ell = norm(PQ) print("Length PQ (ell):", ell)
Find R: foot of perpendicular from P to plane Pi: 2x + y - 2z = 6
Normal to Pi: n_pi = (2, 1, -2)
n_pi = np.array([2, 1, -2])
Line from P perpendicular to Pi: P + s * n_pi
Substitute into plane equation:
2(2 + 2s) + (-1 + s) - 2(3 - 2s) = 6
4 + 4s - 1 + s - 6 + 4s = 6
9s - 3 = 6
9s = 9
s = 1
s_R = (6 - (2P[0] + P[1] - 2P[2])) / (2n_pi[0] + n_pi[1] - 2n_pi[2]) print("s for R:", s_R)
R = P + s_R * n_pi print("Point R:", R)
Verify R is on plane Pi
check_R = 2R[0] + R[1] - 2R[2] print("Check R on Pi (should be 6):", check_R)
Distance PR (perpendicular distance from P to plane)
PR = R - P dist_PR = norm(PR) print("Distance PR:", dist_PR)
Area of triangle PQR
Using cross product: Area = 0.5 * |PQ × PR|
cross_PQ_PR = np.cross(PQ, PR) A = 0.5 * norm(cross_PQ_PR) print("Area A:", A)
Calculate 4 * ell^2 * A^2
result = 4 * ell2 * A2 print("4 * ell^2 * A^2:", result) [/PYTHON]
[THOUGHT] The Python calculation gives us:
- Length (approximately 15.588)
- Area of triangle (approximately 22.946)
The result is exactly 511758. [/THOUGHT]
\boxed{511758}
