I have two points on a line that are D units apart from each other. The line has a plunge and trend of LP to LT. Assume that the first point is at the origin (0, 0, 0)
Thus, the x, y, z of the second point are:
X = sin(LT+180) * sin(LP) * D
Y = cos(LT+180) * sin(LP) * D
Z = cos(LP) * D
I want the upwards direction so I am adding 180 to the trend.
At the second point, there is a plane with the plunge and trend of JP to JT.
I want to find the minimum distance between the first point and the plane.
If I used the following formula:
Minimum distance = ABS( sin(JP)*sin(JT)*X + Sin(JP)*cos(JT)*Y + cos(JP)*Z)
Is that going to give me the correct answer?
