The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the points of intersection of the given line with the xy-plane and yz-plane, and then calculate the volume of the tetrahedron formed by the origin and these points along with point C. ### Step 1: Find the intersection with the xy-plane The equation of the line is given as: \[ \frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-2}{3} = \frac{z-4}{4} \] To find the intersection with the xy-plane, we set \( z = 0 \). Substituting \( z = 0 \) into the line equation: \[ \frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-2}{3} = \frac{0-4}{4} = -1 \] Now we can solve for \( x \) and \( y \): 1. From \( \frac{x-1}{2} = -1 \): \[ x - 1 = -2 \implies x = -1 \] 2. From \( \frac{y-2}{3} = -1 \): \[ y - 2 = -3 \implies y = -1 \] Thus, the coordinates of point A (intersection with the xy-plane) are: \[ A(-1, -1, 0) \] ### Step 2: Find the intersection with the yz-plane To find the intersection with the yz-plane, we set \( x = 0 \). Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the line equation: \[ \frac{0-1}{2} = \frac{y-2}{3} = \frac{z-4}{4} \] This gives: \[ \frac{-1}{2} = \frac{y-2}{3} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{-1}{2} = \frac{z-4}{4} \] Now we can solve for \( y \) and \( z \): 1. From \( \frac{y-2}{3} = -\frac{1}{2} \): \[ y - 2 = -\frac{3}{2} \implies y = \frac{1}{2} \] 2. From \( \frac{z-4}{4} = -\frac{1}{2} \): \[ z - 4 = -2 \implies z = 2 \] Thus, the coordinates of point B (intersection with the yz-plane) are: \[ B(0, \frac{1}{2}, 2) \] ### Step 3: Identify point C Point C is given as: \[ C(1, 0, 4) \] ### Step 4: Calculate the volume of tetrahedron OABC The volume \( V \) of the tetrahedron formed by points O (origin), A, B, and C can be calculated using the formula: \[ V = \frac{1}{6} \left| \vec{OA} \cdot (\vec{OB} \times \vec{OC}) \right| \] #### Step 4.1: Find vectors OA, OB, and OC - \( \vec{OA} = A - O = (-1, -1, 0) \) - \( \vec{OB} = B - O = (0, \frac{1}{2}, 2) \) - \( \vec{OC} = C - O = (1, 0, 4) \) #### Step 4.2: Calculate the cross product \( \vec{OB} \times \vec{OC} \) \[ \vec{OB} \times \vec{OC} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 0 & \frac{1}{2} & 2 \\ 1 & 0 & 4 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the determinant: \[ = \hat{i} \left( \frac{1}{2} \cdot 4 - 2 \cdot 0 \right) - \hat{j} \left( 0 \cdot 4 - 2 \cdot 1 \right) + \hat{k} \left( 0 \cdot 0 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 1 \right) \] \[ = \hat{i} \cdot 2 + \hat{j} \cdot 2 - \hat{k} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] Thus, \[ \vec{OB} \times \vec{OC} = (2, 2, -\frac{1}{2}) \] #### Step 4.3: Calculate the dot product \( \vec{OA} \cdot (\vec{OB} \times \vec{OC}) \) \[ \vec{OA} \cdot (\vec{OB} \times \vec{OC}) = (-1, -1, 0) \cdot (2, 2, -\frac{1}{2}) \] \[ = -1 \cdot 2 + -1 \cdot 2 + 0 \cdot -\frac{1}{2} = -2 - 2 + 0 = -4 \] #### Step 4.4: Calculate the volume \[ V = \frac{1}{6} \left| -4 \right| = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( 102V \) \[ 102V = 102 \cdot \frac{2}{3} = 68 \] Thus, the value of \( 102V \) is: \[ \boxed{68} \]
