I don't know, I don't get the second part you do from AB*m1 and AB*m2 to me, your AB is perfect. And stop at there ( the first column)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh because the lines are skew, so i assume that vector AB is perpendicular to the given lines

OpenStudy (loser66):

to solve for s, and t, direction of L1 = (1,-1,1) direction of L2 =(2,1,0) cross them to get the vector which perpendicular to both L1 and L2 , which is (-1,-2,3) then make AB = (...............) =(-1,-2,3) to solve for s, and t, I get s = -1, t =2 plug back to get A, B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since i am looking for the minimal distance the minimal distance from the lines is the length of the line perpendicular to them

OpenStudy (loser66):

does it make sense to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess so , m1 and m2 are the direction vectors hbu? does my solution make sense to you? O.o lol, i guess not, maybe i'll ask my teacher tomorrow thanks:)

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, let do so, heheheh... Sorry for being helpless

OpenStudy (anonymous):
