Vectors: Shortest Distance AS Maths with Liz Core 4
Aims By the end of the lesson you should be able to… Find the shortest distance from a point to a line Find the coordinates where a perpendicular meets a given line
Shortest Distance
Example 1 Find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from point P (1, 0, 4) to the line with equation
Example 2 Find the shortest distance from point A (4, 7) to the line with equation
You try! Find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from point A (10, 9, 11) to the line with equation
You try! Find the shortest distance between the origin and the line
