How to find the smallest distance between two lines?
Lostsunrise [7]
Consider two lines in space `1 and `2 such that `1 passes through point P1 and is parallel to vector ~v1 and `2 passes through P2 and is parallel to ~v2. We want to compute the smallest distance D between the two lines.
If the two lines intersect, then it is clear that D = 0. If they do not intersect and are parallel, then D corresponds to the distance between point P2 and line `1 and is given by D = k−−−→ P1P2 ×~v1k k~v1k . Assume the lines are not parallel and do not intersect (skew lines) and let ~n = ~v1 ×~v2 be a vector perpendicular to both lines. The norm of the projection of vector −−−→ P1P2 over ~n will give us D, i.e., D = |−−−→ P1P2 ·~n| k~nk . Example Consider the two lines `1 : x = 0, y =−t, z = t and `2 : x = 1+2s, y = s, z =−3s. It is easy to see that the two lines are skew. Let P1 = (0,0,0), ~v1 = (0,−1,1), P2 = (1,0,0), and ~v2 = (2,1,−3). Then, −−−→ P1P2 = (1,0,0) and ~n = ~v1 ×~v2 = (2,2,2). We then get D = |−−−→ P1P2 ·~n| k~nk = 1 √3. Observe that the problem can also by solved with Calculus. Consider the problem of minimizing the Euclidean distance between two points on `1 and `2. Let Q1 = (x1,y1,z1) and Q2 = (x2,y2,z2) be arbitrary points on `1 and `2, and let F(s,t) = (x2 −x1)2 +(y2 −y1)2 +(z2 −z1)2 = (1+2s)2 +(s + t)2 +(−3s−t)2 = 14s2 +2t2 +8st +4s+1. Note that F(s,t) corresponds to the square of the Euclidean distance between Q1 and Q2. Let’s nd the critical points of F. Fs(s,t) = 28s+8t +4 = 0 Ft(s,t) = 4t +8s = 0 By solving the linear system, we nd that the unique critical point is (s0,t0) = (−1/3,2/3). Since the Hessian matrix of F, H =Fss Fst Fts Ftt=28 8 8 4, is positive denite, the critical point corresponds to the absolute minimum of F over all (s,t)∈R2. The minimal distance between the two lines is then D =pF(s0,t0) = 1 √3.

What is the distance between (10, 6) and (-2, -3)
Helga [31]

Answer:

15 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

√(x1-y1)^2 + (y1-y2)^2))

So here it is:

√(10- -2)^2 + (6- -3)^2)

= √(144+81)

=  √225

= 15.
