1 Three planes \(P , Q\) and \(R\) have the following equations.
$$\begin{array} { l l }
\text { Plane } P : & 8 x - y - 14 z = 20
\text { Plane } Q : & 6 x + 2 y - 5 z = 26
\text { Plane } R : & 2 x + y - z = 40
\end{array}$$
The line of intersection of the planes \(P\) and \(Q\) is \(K\).
The line of intersection of the planes \(P\) and \(R\) is \(L\).
- Show that \(K\) and \(L\) are parallel lines, and find the shortest distance between them.
- Show that the shortest distance between the line \(K\) and the plane \(R\) is \(5 \sqrt { 6 }\).
The line \(M\) has equation \(\mathbf { r } = ( \mathbf { i } - 4 \mathbf { j } ) + \lambda ( 5 \mathbf { i } - 4 \mathbf { j } + 3 \mathbf { k } )\).
- Show that the lines \(K\) and \(M\) intersect, and find the coordinates of the point of intersection.
- Find the shortest distance between the lines \(L\) and \(M\).
