Shortest distance between two lines

The shortest distance between two lines in 3D space can be found using vector calculus. Let’s consider two non-parallel lines in 3D space: Line 1: r1 = a1 + t1 * b1 Line 2: r2 = a2 + t2 * b2 where a1 and a2 are position vectors for each line, b1 and b2 are…

Distance of a point from a line

To find the distance between a point and a line in analytical geometry, you can use the formula: distance = |ax + by + c| / √(a^2 + b^2) where a, b, and c are constants that represent the coefficients of the equation of the line in the form of ax + by + c…
