[THOUGHT] We need to solve a geometry problem step-by-step.
Given:
- L1: intersection of planes 2x+3y+z=4 and x+2y+z=5.
- L2: passes through P(2,-1,3) and parallel to L1.
- Plane Π: 2x+y-2z=6.
- L2 meets Π at Q.
- R: foot of perpendicular from P to Π.
- ℓ = length PQ.
- A = area of triangle PQR.
- Find 4ℓ² A².
We need to compute ℓ² and A², then compute 4ℓ² A².
Approach:
- Find direction vector of L1 by cross product of normals of given planes.
- Parametric equation of L2: P + t * d.
- Find intersection Q of L2 with Π by solving for t.
- Compute ℓ = distance between P and Q = |t| * |d|.
- Find foot R of perpendicular from P to Π.
- Compute area A of triangle PQR using cross product: A = 0.5 * |(Q-P) × (R-P)|.
- Compute 4ℓ² A².
Let's implement in Python using sympy for exact rational arithmetic.
Steps in code:
- Define variables x, y, z.
- Normals n1 = (2,3,1), n2 = (1,2,1).
- Direction d = cross(n1, n2).
- L2: (x,y,z) = (2, -1, 3) + t*d.
- Substitute into Π: 2x + y - 2z = 6, solve for t.
- Compute Q.
- ℓ = distance between P and Q = |t| * |d|.
- For foot R: formula for projection of point P onto plane Π. Plane: 2x + y - 2z = 6, normal n = (2,1,-2). R = P - ((2P[0] + P[1] - 2P[2] - 6) / (2^2+1^2+(-2)^2)) * n.
- Compute vectors Q-P and R-P.
- Area A = 0.5 * |cross(Q-P, R-P)|.
- Compute 4 * ℓ2 * A2.
Let's do it.
[/PYTHON] [PYTHON] import sympy as sp

x, y, z = sp.symbols('x y z')
Normals of the two planes for L1

Direction vector of L1
d = n1.cross(n2) print("Direction vector d of L1:", d)
Point P
P = sp.Matrix([2, -1, 3])
Parametric equation for L2: P + t*d

Plane Π: 2x + y - 2z = 6
plane_eq = 2x + y - 2z - 6
Substitute L2 into plane equation
eq_sub = plane_eq.subs({x: L2[0], y: L2[1], z: L2[2]}) print("Equation after substitution:", eq_sub)
Solve for t
t_val = sp.solve(eq_sub, t) print("t value:", t_val)
Intersection point Q

Compute distance ℓ = |t| * |d|
d_norm = sp.sqrt(d.dot(d)) ell = sp.Abs(t_val) * d_norm print("ℓ (distance PQ):", ell)
Foot R of perpendicular from P to plane Π

Vectors Q-P and R-P
v1 = Q - P v2 = R - P
Area A = 0.5 * |cross(v1, v2)|
cross_prod = v1.cross(v2) area = sp.Rational(1, 2) * sp.sqrt(cross_prod.dot(cross_prod)) print("Area A:", area)

[THOUGHT] The Python output gives the simplified result 511758. That is the value of (4\ell^2 A^2). I will provide the final answer.
\boxed{511758}
