The length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane passing through the point a and containing the line

\mathbf{r}=\mathbf{b}+\lambda \mathbf{c}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\frac{[a \mathbf{b c}]}{|\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}+\mathbf{c \times a}|}

The correct answer is

\frac{{[a \mathbf{b c}]}}{{|\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}+\mathbf{c \times a}|}}

because it represents the formula for the perpendicular distance from the origin to the plane.
