Shortest Perpendicular Distance

[@kieranmcd6778]

Hi Tomas, is it possible to see the video on the shortest horizontal distance for the skew lines ?

[@rabeenashrestha7429]

Sir how did u make X1Y1 line?

[@That_One_Guy...]

Thanks for this video, it helped me visualize the way to find distance between 2 skew lines the traditional geometric way, all i found on google is just methods with vectors and it's not really helpful since it's all just calculation and no visual geometry at all.

I love this video and the application what is this app

can you please do a video of distance between a point and a plane ?

[@That_One_Guy...]

One way that i know is to make 2 plane through your point in question, each one intersect a line on that plane in question perpendicularly (choosing trace lines is much recommended rather than arbitrary lines on the planes), so suppose you have point P and plane pi and you want to measure distance between them. First you make the trace of plane Pi (create a triangle portion of it) suppose your traces are l1,l2,l3. Make 2 planes through P and two of the traces and those two planes must each intersect the traces perpendicularly. Suppose those two planes are Pi1 and Pi2, Pi1 intersect l1 perpendicularly like Pi2 also does with l2 (remember that Pi1 and Pi2 must also goes through P), make the intersection lines between Pi1 and pi also with Pi2 and pi (name those two lines k1,k2), intersection point of k1 and k2 is the projection of point P onto plane pi (name that P') connect P and P' and line PP' is your distance between point P and plane Pi. I recommend that you create a cube that contain P and Pi traces so that it would be easier to do. I didn't find this on google, rather think about this on my own when i want to find a way to do distance between point and plane in a cube without using vector

Is the shortest distance in true length?

[@atuconnemara6667]

The shortest distance is seen as a true length when projected back to the first auxiliary. Consider it the distance of the space between the two parallel lines. Hope this helps.

where is the shortest horizontal dist vid??
