Definition
vector(a)*dot(a,b)/(||a||2) |
|
|
Term
||projection vector b onto a|| |
|
Definition
dot(a,b)/||a||
||b||cos(c)
where c is the angle formed by a and b |
|
|
Term
Distance from point P to line through Q and R |
|
Definition
||cross(PQ,QR)||/||QR||
This is easy to remember because the numerator is just twice the area of the triangle created by the
three points, the denominator is the
base. bh/b=h |

Term
Distance to point P to a plane given a normal vector N and point Q |
|
Definition
|dot(N, PQ)|/||N||
This is the just the length of the projection of the vector PQ onto the normal. |
