Question 1

Given two skew lines A: (2, 3, 1) + t(1, 2, 1) and B: (1, 0, 2) + s(0, 1, 0), calculate the shortest distance between them.

💡 Hint: Break down the calculations step-by-step to avoid confusion.

Question 2

Two skew lines are defined by the equations L1: (1, 1, 1) + t(2, -3, 1) and L2: (4, 0, 3) + s(1, -2, 0). Calculate their shortest distance.

💡 Hint: Ensure to determine the appropriate vectors for calculations.
