Question

Given two non-parallel lines, develop a formula for the distance between them. Justify your formula with a diagram.

Expert Solution
Step 1:

If two linea are non parllelopiped lines then 

1) either they are intersecting lines or they are skew lines.

2) if lines are intersecting then minimum distance between is zero.so distance is zero between two intersecting lines.

2)two lines which is neither intersecting not parllel are called skew lines.

3) two arrow planes always cross each other in skew lines.

So we have to find distance between two skew lines-
