How to find shortest distance between two lines
SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO LINES
1st of all we shall find out shortest distance between two Parallel lines.
Consider two parallel lines whose equations in vector form are given byProblem 1
Now applying this formula to find the shortest distance between two lines .
=√(81)+(196)+(16)
=√293
Magnitude of
= √49
= 7
Putting all these values in the formula of Shortest Distance between two lines .Now Find distance between two skew lines i.e. Lines which are not Parallel lines.
Problem 2
Consider two parallel lines whose equations in vector form are given by
Now comparing these equations with standard form , and write
Now applying this formula to find the shortest distance between two lines
