Let L1L_1 be the line of intersection of the planes given by the equations2x+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 equation2x+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 4$$\ell$$^2 A^2.\

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] Let me solve this step by step.

  1. First, I need to find the direction vector of line L1L_1 (intersection of the two planes).
  2. Then find line L2L_2 passing through P(2,1,3)P(2, -1, 3) parallel to L1L_1.
  3. Find point QQ where L2L_2 meets plane Π:2x+y2z=6\Pi: 2x + y - 2z = 6.
  4. Find point RR, the foot of perpendicular from PP to plane Π\Pi.
  5. Calculate =PQ\ell = |PQ| and A=A = area of triangle PQRPQR.
  6. Finally compute 42A24\ell^2 A^2.

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]

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] The Python calculation gives us:

  • Length =PQ=93\ell = |PQ| = 9\sqrt{3} (approximately 15.588)
  • Area AA of triangle PQRPQR (approximately 22.946)
  • 42A2=5117584\ell^2 A^2 = 511758

The result is exactly 511758. [/THOUGHT]

\boxed{511758}

Final Model Output
