Question

Formula to find distance between point and plane 3d geometry

Answer 1

Answer:

The focus of this lesson is to calculate the shortest distance between a point and a plane. This distance is actually the length of the perpendicular from the point to the plane. We can clearly understand that the point of intersection between the point and the line that passes through this point which is also normal to a plane is closest to our original point.

Thus, the line joining these two points i.e. the perpendicular should give us the said shortest distance. So, if we take the normal vector \vec{n} and consider a line parallel to it which meets our original point, then this parallel line is actually the required shortest distance.
