उत्तर
Shortest distance between the lines

= 4(−6 + 2) − 6(7 − 1) + 8(−14 + 6)
= − 16 − 36 − 64
= − 116
and `(b_1c_2 - b_2c_1)^2 + (c_1a_2 - c_2a_1)^2 + (a_1b_2 - a_2b_1)^2`
= (−6 + 2)2 + (1 − 7)2 + (−14 + 6)2
= 16 + 36 + 64
= 116
∴ shortest distance between the given lines
`|(-116)/sqrt(116)|`
`sqrt(116)`
= `2sqrt(29)` units
