🧄Finding the Shortest Distance and Proving Orthogonality for Skew Lines
The shortest distance between two skew lines is defined by a vector that is orthogonal (perpendicular) to both lines. The analysis proves this mathematically using calculus and dot products, while the interactive demo provides a visual confirmation, showing that any non-orthogonal vector results in a longer distance. This principle of orthogonality is the core geometric insight for solving such problems.
