Question 1302d

Vectors II: Lines and Planes
Perpendicular Distance between Lines

Question

The line l{l} is given by
l1:r=(322)+λ(205),  λR. l_1: \mathbf{r} = \begin{pmatrix} - 3 \\ 2 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} + \lambda \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 0 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix}, \; \lambda \in \mathbb{R}.
Find the perpendicular distance between the line and the point B(4,2,5).{B \left( 4, - 2, - 5 \right).}
