Perpendicular distance from a point to a line (Vector)
Perpendicular distance from a point to a line (Question)
- Determine the shortest distance between a point A (3,5,3) to the line of r = 11i -1j – 3k + λ (i – j + 2k).
Guide:
Angle between two lines
cos x = a.b/(|a||b|)
a.b is the scalar product of two vector
If a is perpendicular to b, then cos x = 0.
Eventually, a.b = 0
