Hello all,
I have been asked to compute the distance from y to the straight line L that runs through u and the origin and I thought the best way was to find the orthogonal projection of vector y onto the Line L and then to find the distance between the 2 points (the orthogonal projection of y onto L and y) by using Pythagoras theorem for xyz space but my answer of 10.332 is coming up as wrong.. could anyone tell me where I am going wrong please? Thanks
