Vectors - Distance from a Point to a Plane

TGM Original Questions

Two parallel planes \({{\mathrm{p}}_{1}}\) and \({{\mathrm{p}}_{3}}\) have equations \(\mathbf{r}\cdot \left( \begin{matrix}3  \\-2  \\-3  \end{matrix} \right)=4\) and \(\mathbf{r}\cdot \left( \begin{matrix} -3  \\2  \\ 3  \end{matrix} \right)=7\) respectively. Find

  1. the perpendicular distance between \({{\mathrm{p}}_{1}}\) and \({{\mathrm{p}}_{3}}\),
  2. the exact cartesian equations of parallel planes which are \(\sqrt{66}\) units away from \({{p}_{1}}\).
