Problem Statement

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.\

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] Compute direction vector of L1 as cross product of plane normals. Parametrize L2 through P with that direction, intersect with plane Π to get Q. Find R as orthogonal projection of P onto Π. Then ℓ=|PQ| and area A = 1/2 |(Q-P)×(R-P)|. Finally compute 4ℓ^2A^2 (which simplifies to |PQ|^2 * |(Q-P)×(R-P)|^2). [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] import sympy as sp

Define normals of the planes for L1

n1 = sp.Matrix([2,3,1]) n2 = sp.Matrix([1,2,1])

Direction of intersection line L1

d = n1.cross(n2) d print("d =", d)

Point P

P = sp.Matrix([2,-1,3])

Plane Pi: 2x + y - 2z = 6

nPi = sp.Matrix([2,1,-2])

Parametric line L2: P + t*d

t = sp.Symbol('t', real=True) X = P + t*d

Solve for intersection with plane Pi

eq = sp.Eq(2X[0] + X[1] - 2X[2], 6) t_sol = sp.solve(eq, t)[0] Q = sp.simplify(X.subs(t, t_sol))

print("t_sol =", t_sol) print("Q =", Q)

Foot of perpendicular from P to plane Pi

Plane: nPi . x = 6, so projection: R = P - ((n.P - 6)/||n||^2) * n

n_norm_sq = (nPi.dot(nPi)) lam = (nPi.dot(P) - 6) / n_norm_sq R = sp.simplify(P - lam*nPi)

print("R =", R)

Compute length PQ

PQ = Q - P ell_sq = sp.simplify(PQ.dot(PQ)) ell = sp.sqrt(ell_sq)

Area of triangle PQR

PR = R - P cross = PQ.cross(PR) cross_sq = sp.simplify(cross.dot(cross)) A_sq = sp.simplify(cross_sq/4)

expr = sp.simplify(4ell_sqA_sq) print("ell_sq =", ell_sq) print("cross_sq =", cross_sq) print("A_sq =", A_sq) print("4ell^2A^2 =", expr) print("as integer?", sp.nsimplify(expr)) [/PYTHON]
