Question
Write the formula for the shortest distance between the lines$\vec{\text{r}}=\vec{\text{a}}_1+\lambda\vec{\text{b}}$ and $\vec{\text{r}}=\vec{\text{a}}_2+\mu\vec{\text{b}}.$
✓

Answer

The shortest distance d between the parallel lines $\vec{\text{r}}=\vec{\text{a}}_1+\lambda\vec{\text{b}}$ and $\vec{\text{r}}=\vec{\text{a}}_2+\mu\vec{\text{b}}$ is given by
$\text{d}=\frac{\big|\big(\vec{\text{a}}_2-\vec{\text{a}}_1\big)\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|}{\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|}$
