The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the distance of the point \( (1, 1, 1) \) from a plane that passes through the point \( (-1, -2, -1) \) and has a normal vector that is perpendicular to both lines \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \). ### Step 1: Determine the direction vectors of the lines \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) The lines are given in symmetric form: - For line \( L_1 \): \[ \frac{x + 1}{3} = \frac{y + 2}{1} = \frac{z + 2}{2} \] The direction vector \( \mathbf{d_1} \) of \( L_1 \) is \( (3, 1, 2) \). - For line \( L_2 \): \[ \frac{x - 2}{1} = \frac{y + 2}{2} = \frac{z - 3}{3} \] The direction vector \( \mathbf{d_2} \) of \( L_2 \) is \( (1, 2, 3) \). ### Step 2: Find the normal vector to the plane The normal vector \( \mathbf{n} \) to the plane can be found by taking the cross product of the direction vectors \( \mathbf{d_1} \) and \( \mathbf{d_2} \): \[ \mathbf{d_1} = (3, 1, 2), \quad \mathbf{d_2} = (1, 2, 3) \] Calculating the cross product: \[ \mathbf{n} = \mathbf{d_1} \times \mathbf{d_2} = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 3 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \end{vmatrix} \] Expanding the determinant: \[ \mathbf{n} = \mathbf{i}(1 \cdot 3 - 2 \cdot 2) - \mathbf{j}(3 \cdot 3 - 2 \cdot 1) + \mathbf{k}(3 \cdot 2 - 1 \cdot 1) \] \[ = \mathbf{i}(3 - 4) - \mathbf{j}(9 - 2) + \mathbf{k}(6 - 1) \] \[ = -\mathbf{i} - 7\mathbf{j} + 5\mathbf{k} \] Thus, the normal vector \( \mathbf{n} = (-1, -7, 5) \). ### Step 3: Write the equation of the plane The equation of a plane can be expressed as: \[ n_1(x - x_0) + n_2(y - y_0) + n_3(z - z_0) = 0 \] where \( (x_0, y_0, z_0) \) is a point on the plane and \( (n_1, n_2, n_3) \) is the normal vector. Using the point \( (-1, -2, -1) \) and the normal vector \( (-1, -7, 5) \): \[ -1(x + 1) - 7(y + 2) + 5(z + 1) = 0 \] Expanding this: \[ -x - 1 - 7y - 14 + 5z + 5 = 0 \] \[ -x - 7y + 5z - 10 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x + 7y - 5z + 10 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the distance from the point \( (1, 1, 1) \) to the plane The distance \( D \) from a point \( (x_1, y_1, z_1) \) to the plane \( ax + by + cz + d = 0 \) is given by: \[ D = \frac{|ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}} \] Here, \( a = 1, b = 7, c = -5, d = 10 \) and the point is \( (1, 1, 1) \): \[ D = \frac{|1 \cdot 1 + 7 \cdot 1 - 5 \cdot 1 + 10|}{\sqrt{1^2 + 7^2 + (-5)^2}} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ = |1 + 7 - 5 + 10| = |13| = 13 \] Calculating the denominator: \[ = \sqrt{1 + 49 + 25} = \sqrt{75} \] Thus, the distance is: \[ D = \frac{13}{\sqrt{75}} = \frac{13}{5\sqrt{3}} = \frac{13\sqrt{3}}{15} \] ### Final Answer The distance of the point \( (1, 1, 1) \) from the plane is \( \frac{13}{\sqrt{75}} \).
