Step 1
First, we need to find the position vector of point P with respect to points A and G. Let's denote these position vectors as $\vec{AP}$ and $\vec{GP}$, respectively. Show more…

Let P be a point not on the line L that passes through the points Q and R. The distance d from the point P to the line L is d = |a × b| |a| where a = QR and b = QP.

(a) Let $P$ be a point not on the line $L$ that passes through the points $Q$ and $R$ . Show that the distance $d$ from the point $P$ to the line $L$ is $d=\frac{|\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}|}{|\mathbf{a}|}$ where $\mathbf{a}=\vec{Q R}$ and $\mathbf{b}=\vec{Q P}$ (b) Use the formula in part (a) to find the distance from the point $P(1,1,1)$ to the line through $Q(0,6,8)$ and $R(-1,4,7) .$
