Question:

If $\lambda_1<\lambda_2$ are two values of $\lambda$ such that the angle between the planes $P_1: \vec{r}(3 \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+\hat{k})=7$ and $P_2: \vec{r} \cdot(\lambda \hat{i}+\hat{j}-3 \hat{k})=9$ is $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{5}\right)$, then the square of the length of perpendicular from the point $\left(38 \lambda_1, 10 \lambda_2, 2\right)$ to the plane $P_1$ is _____

Correct Answer: 315

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is 315.

\(P_{1}=\vec{r}.(3\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+\hat{k})=7\)

\(P_{2}=\vec{r}.(\lambda \hat{i}+\hat{j}-3\hat{k})=9\)

\(\theta =sin^{-1}(\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{5})\)

\(\Rightarrow sin\theta =\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{5}\)

\(\therefore cos\theta =\frac{1}{5}.\)

\(cos\theta =\frac{\vec{r}.\vec{r}}{|\vec{r}||\vec{r_{2}}|}\)

\(=\frac{(3i-5j+k)(\lambda {i}+{j}-3{k})}{\sqrt{35}.\sqrt{\lambda ^{2}+10}}\)

\(\Rightarrow 19\lambda ^{2}-95\lambda -25\lambda +125\)=0

\(\Rightarrow x=5,\frac{25}{19}\)

square of the length of perpendicular from the point  ( 38 1 , 10  , 2 ) (38λ  1 ​  ,10λ  2 ​  ,2) to the plan

Perpendicular distance of point

\((38\lambda _{1},10\lambda _{2},2)=(50,50,2)\) from plane P1

\(=\frac{|30\times50-5\times50+2-7}{\sqrt{35}}\)

\(Square=\frac{105\times 105}{35}=315\)

Three Dimensional Geometry

Mathematically, Geometry is one of the most important topics. The concepts of Geometry are derived w.r.t. the planes. So, Geometry is divided into three major categories based on its dimensions which are one-dimensional geometry, two-dimensional geometry, and three-dimensional geometry.

Direction Cosines and Direction Ratios of Line:

Consider a line L that is passing through the three-dimensional plane. Now, x,y and z are the axes of the plane and α,β, and γ are the three angles the line makes with these axes. These are commonly known as the direction angles of the plane. So, appropriately, we can say that cosα, cosβ, and cosγ are the direction cosines of the given line L.
