Distance between two lines
Find the distance between two lines
-
l_1\Rightarrow r_1=\begin{pmatrix}1\\0\\0\end{pmatrix}+\lambda\begin{pmatrix}0\\1\\1\end{pmatrix} -
l_2\Rightarrow r_2=\begin{pmatrix}-1\\3\\-1\end{pmatrix}+\mu\begin{pmatrix}2\\-1\\-1\end{pmatrix} -
Let
A equal the point at whichAB intersects withl_1 -
Let
B equal the point at whichAB intersects withl_2 -
\vec{OA}=\begin{pmatrix}1\\\lambda\\\lambda\end{pmatrix} -
\vec{OB}=\begin{pmatrix}-1+2\mu\\3-\mu\end{pmatrix} -
\vec{AB}=\vec{OB}-\vec{OA}=\begin{pmatrix}-2+2\mu\\3-\mu-\lambda\\-1-\mu-\lambda\end{pmatrix} -
d_1=\begin{pmatrix}0\\1\\1\end{pmatrix} -
d_2=\begin{pmatrix}2\\-1\\-1\end{pmatrix} -
\vec{AB}\cdot d_1=0 -
\begin{pmatrix}-2+2\mu\\3-\mu-\lambda\\-1-\mu-lambda\end{pmatrix}\cdot\begin{pmatrix}0\\1\\1\end{pmatrix}=0 -
\vec{AB}\cdot d_2=0 -
\begin{pmatrix}-2+2\mu\\3-\mu-\lambda\\-1-\mu-lambda\end{pmatrix}\cdot\begin{pmatrix}2\\-1\\-1\end{pmatrix}=0
