Question

find the shortest distance between the lines x21=y52=z03andx02=y+11=z12

Open in App
Solution

Given lines l1=x21=y52=z03
l2=x02=y+11=z12
Shortest distance: ∣ ∣x2x1y2y1z2z1a1b1c1a2b2c2∣ ∣/(b1c1+b2c2).(c1a2+a1c2).(a1b2+b1a2)
Where comparing with the equation
l1:xx1a1=yy2b1=zz1c1
l2:xx1a2=yy2b2=zz1c2
∣ ∣261123212∣ ∣(4+3)2+(6+2)2+(14)2
6549+64+9
65122
