In this article, using the example of solving problem C2 from the Unified State Examination, the method of finding coordinates using the method is analyzed. Recall that lines are skew if they do not lie in the same plane. In particular, if one line lies in a plane, and the second line intersects this plane at a point that does not lie on the first line, then such lines are skew (see figure).

For finding distances between intersecting lines necessary:

  1. Draw a plane through one of the skew lines that is parallel to the other skew line.
  2. Drop a perpendicular from any point of the second straight line to the resulting plane. The length of this perpendicular will be the desired distance between the lines.

Let us analyze this algorithm in more detail using the example of solving problem C2 from the Unified State Examination in mathematics.

Distance between lines in space

A task. in a single cube ABCDA 1 B 1 C 1 D 1 find the distance between the lines BA 1 and D.B. 1 .

Rice. 1. Drawing for the task

Solution. Through the midpoint of the diagonal of the cube D.B. 1 (dot O) draw a line parallel to the line A 1 B. Points of intersection of a given line with edges BC And A 1 D 1 denote respectively N And M. Straight MN lies in the plane MNB 1 and parallel to the line A 1 B, which does not lie in this plane. This means that the direct A 1 B parallel to the plane MNB 1 on the basis of parallelism of a straight line and a plane (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. The desired distance between the crossing lines is equal to the distance from any point of the selected line to the depicted plane

We are now looking for the distance from some point on the straight line A 1 B up to the plane MNB one . This distance, by definition, will be the desired distance between the skew lines.

To find this distance, we use the coordinate method. We introduce a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system so that its origin coincides with point B, the axis X was directed along the edge BA, axis Y- along the rib BC, axis Z- along the rib BB 1 (Fig. 3).

Rice. 3. We choose a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system as shown in the figure

We find the equation of the plane MNB 1 in this coordinate system. To do this, we first determine the coordinates of the points M, N And B 1: The resulting coordinates are substituted into general equation straight line and we get the following system of equations:

From the second equation of the system, we obtain from the third one, and then from the first we obtain. We substitute the obtained values ​​into the general equation of the straight line:

Note that otherwise the plane MNB 1 would pass through the origin. We divide both sides of this equation by and we get:

The distance from a point to a plane is determined by the formula.
