A tetrahedron is three dimensional figure bounded by four non coplanar triangular plane. So a tetrahedron has points A,B,C,D as its vertices, which have coordinates (x_(1),y_(1),z_(1)) (x_(2), y_(2), z_(2)) , (x _(3), y_(3) , z_(3)) and (x _(4), y _(4), z _(4)) respectively in a rectangular three –dimensional space. Then the coordinates of its centroid are ((x_(1)+ x_(2) + x _(3) + x_(4))/(4) , (y _(1) + y _(2) + y_(3) + y _(4))/(4), (z_(1) + z_(2) + z_(3)+ z_(4))/(4)). The circumcentre of the tetrahedron is the centre of a sphere passing through its vertices. So, the circumcentre is a point equidistant from each of the vertices of tetrahedron. Let tetrahedron has three of its vertices represented by the points (0,0,0) ,(6,-5,-1) and (-4,1,3) and its centroid lies at the point (1,-2,5). Now answer the following questions The distance between the planes x + 2y- 3z -4 =0 and 2x + 4y - 6z=1 along the line x/1= (y)/(-3) = z/2 is :
