Question:

Let P and Q be points on nonintersecting skew lines with directions n1 and n2, and let n = n1 × n2 Figure 8. Show that the distance d between these lines is given by
Let P and Q be points on nonintersecting skew lines
Let P and Q be points on nonintersecting skew lines

And use this result to find the distance between each pair of lines in parts a and b.
a.
