To find the shortest distance between the two given lines, we can use the formula for the shortest distance \(d\) between two skew lines defined by their vector equations: \[ d = \frac{| \mathbf{b_1} \times \mathbf{b_2} \cdot (\mathbf{a_2} - \mathbf{a_1}) |}{|\mathbf{b_1} \times \mathbf{b_2}|} \] Where: - \(\mathbf{a_1}\) and \(\mathbf{a_2}\) are position vectors of points on the lines, ...
