  2. Distance from a point to a plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    Now the problem has become one of finding the nearest point on this plane to the origin, and its distance from the origin. The point on the plane in terms of the original coordinates can be found from this point using the above relationships between and , between and , and between and ; the distance in terms of the original coordinates is the ...

  3. Distance between two parallel lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_between_two...

    the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line y = − x / m . {\displaystyle y=-x/m\,.} This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems

  4. Euclidean distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance

    The distance from a point to a plane in three-dimensional Euclidean space [7] The distance between two lines in three-dimensional Euclidean space [8] The distance from a point to a curve can be used to define its parallel curve, another curve all of whose points have the same distance to the given curve. [9]

  5. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    In mathematics, a spherical coordinate system specifies a given point in three-dimensional space by using a distance and two angles as its three coordinates. These are the radial distance r along the line connecting the point to a fixed point called the origin; the polar angle θ between this radial line and a given polar axis; [a] and

  6. Hesse normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesse_normal_form

    Distance from the origin O to the line E calculated with the Hesse normal form. Normal vector in red, line in green, point O shown in blue. In analytic geometry, the Hesse normal form (named after Otto Hesse) is an equation used to describe a line in the Euclidean plane, a plane in Euclidean space, or a hyperplane in higher dimensions.

  7. Euclidean planes in three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    This proves that all points in the intersection are the same distance from the point E in the plane P, in other words all points in the intersection lie on a circle C with center E. [8] This proves that the intersection of P and S is contained in C. Note that OE is the axis of the circle. Now consider a point D of the circle C. Since C lies in ...

  8. Line–plane intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–plane_intersection

    The point at which the line intersects the plane is therefore described by setting the point on the line equal to the point on the plane, giving the parametric equation: l a + l a b t = p 0 + p 01 u + p 02 v . {\displaystyle \mathbf {l} _{a}+\mathbf {l} _{ab}t=\mathbf {p} _{0}+\mathbf {p} _{01}u+\mathbf {p} _{02}v.}

  9. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.
