Distances

Shortest Distance
Find the shortest distance from a point to a plane (generally, but you may use anexample first to help you discover the method)[br][br]To use the applet below, you can drag around the point [math]A[/math] to see what is happening with the shortest distance. From this, figure out how you would find this algebraically.
Why is it easier finding the shortest distance from a point to a plane, rather then a point to a line?
You can hide and unhide lines and planes to help you with questions 18 and 19. [br]You can also change the equations of each of the plane.
