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

Option C (

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

) is the correct length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane because it uses the scalar triple product and the correct normal vector.
