How do you calculate the distance from a point to a line AND/OR a plane? ALSO How would you calculate the SHORTEST distance from a point to a line AND/OR a plane? Thank you

OpenStudy (amistre64):

by finding the perpendicular distance

am i asking the wrong question?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, since a line and a plane are 2 different objects; its hard to generalize what it id your asking for

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but in short, you are looking for the perpendicular distance between the point and its object

using vectors:|dw:1336326441523:dw|
