← A drone is at the point (7, 5, 12) and a straight pipe lies along the x-axis, with lengths in metres. What is the distance of the drone from the pipe?
Two pipes follow the lines through (1, -1, 0) with direction ratios (1, 2, -1) and through (1, 0, -3) with direction ratios (2, k, 1). The pipes must meet at a joint. For which value of k is this possible? →
