To find the length of the perpendicular drawn from the point \( P(2, 3, 4) \) to the line given by the symmetric equations \( \frac{4-x}{2} = \frac{y}{6} = \frac{1-z}{3} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the line equations into parametric form The symmetric equations can be expressed in parametric form. Let \( \lambda \) be the parameter: - From \( \frac{4-x}{2} = \lambda \), we have \( x = 4 - 2\lambda \). - From \( \frac{y}{6} = \lambda \), we have \( y = 6\lambda \). - From \( \frac{1-z}{3} = \lambda \), we have \( z = 1 - 3\lambda \). ...
