Question
Find the distance between the planes $\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}})+7=0$ and $\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(2\hat{\text{i}}+4\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}})+7=0$

Answer

The given plane are,
$\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}})=-7$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+2\text{y}+3\text{z}=-7$
Multiplying this equation of the plane by 2, we get
$2​​\text{x}+4​\text{y}+6​\text{z}=-14\ ...(\text{i})$
and
$\vec{\text{r}}\cdot(2\hat{\text{i}}+4\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}})=-7$
$2​​\text{x}+4​\text{y}+6​\text{z}=-7\ ...(\text{ii})$
We know that distance between two planes ax + by + cz = d1 and ax + by + cz = d2 is $\frac{\big|\text{d}_2-\text{d}_1\big|}{\sqrt{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2}}$
So, the required distance
$=\frac{|-7-(-14)|}{\sqrt{2^2+4^2+6^2}}$
$=\frac{|7|}{\sqrt{4+16+36}}$
$=\frac{7}{\sqrt{56}}\text{ units}$
