Question

Show that the line whose vector equation is `vecr = (2hati - 2hatj + 3hatk) + λ(hati - hatj + 4hatk)` is parallel to the plane whose vector equation is `vecr.(hati + 5hatj + hatk) = 5`. Also find the distance between them.

Sum

Solution

P.V. of the point on the line `2hati - 2hatj + 3hatk`

Direction vector `hati - hatj + 4hatk`

Given plane `vecr.(hati + 5hatj + hatk) - 5 = 0`

∴ Normal vector of the plane `hati + 5hatj + hatk`

If straight line and plane are parallel to each other

`\implies` Direction vector of line and normal vector of the plane are perpendicular to each other

Now we get `(hati - hatj + 4hatk)(hati + 5hatj + hatk) = 0`

∵ Since the dot product is zero, they are perpendicular to each other.

`\implies` Straight line and plane are parallel to each other.

Required distance = `((2hati - 2hatj + 3hatk)*(hati + 5hatj + hatk) - 5)/sqrt(1 + 25 + 1)`

= `10/sqrt(27)`

= `10/(3sqrt(3))`  units.
