Let the coordinates of one vertex of $\triangle ABC$ be $A(0, 2, \alpha)$ and the other two vertices lie on the line $\frac{x+\alpha}{5} = \frac{y-1}{2} = \frac{z+4}{3}$. For $\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}$,if the area of $\triangle ABC$ is $21$ sq. units and the line segment $BC$ has length $2\sqrt{21}$ units,then $\alpha^2$ is equal to $...........$.

Let $\lambda_1, \lambda_2$ be the values of $\lambda$ for which the points $\left(\frac{5}{2}, 1, \lambda\right)$ and $(-2, 0, 1)$ are at equal distance from the plane $2x + 3y - 6z + 7 = 0$. If $\lambda_1 > \lambda_2$,then the distance of the point $(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2, \lambda_2, \lambda_1)$ from the line $\frac{x - 5}{1} = \frac{y - 1}{2} = \frac{z + 7}{2}$ is:
