The length of the perpendicular from the point $P(2, -1, 4)$ to the straight line $\frac{x + 3}{10} = \frac{y - 2}{-7} = \frac{z}{1}$ is

The shortest distance between the skew lines $\vec{r}=(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})+\lambda(-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})$ and $\vec{r}=(\hat{i}-7 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k})+\mu(\hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})$ is

Find the shortest distance between the lines given by $\vec{r}=(8+3 \lambda) \hat{i}+(-9-16 \lambda) \hat{j}+(10+7 \lambda) \hat{k}$ and $\vec{r}=15 \hat{i}+29 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}+\mu(3 \hat{i}+8 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k})$. (in $\text{ units}$)

Let $L_1: \frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{y-1}{-1}=\frac{z+1}{0}$ and $L_2: \frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y}{0}=\frac{z+4}{\alpha}, \alpha \in R$,be two lines,which intersect at the point $B$. If $P$ is the foot of perpendicular from the point $A(1,1,-1)$ on $L_2$,then the value of $26 \alpha(PB)^2$ is . . . . . . .

The distance of the point $P(1, 2, 1)$ from the line $\frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-2}{1} = \frac{z-3}{2}$ is

The shortest distance between the lines $\frac{x}{2} = \frac{y}{2} = \frac{z}{1}$ and $\frac{x + 2}{- 1} = \frac{y - 4}{8} = \frac{z - 5}{4}$ lies in the interval
