To find the distance of point A (denoted as \(\vec{a}\)) from the line \(l\) that passes through point \(B\) (denoted as \(\vec{b}\)) and is parallel to vector \(C\) (denoted as \(\vec{c}\)), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the vectors We have: - Point \(B\) represented by the vector \(\vec{b}\) - Point \(A\) represented by the vector \(\vec{a}\) - The direction vector of the line \(l\) is \(\vec{c}\) ...
