For two lines having directional vectors v1\mathbf{v}_1 and v2\mathbf{v}_2, respectively, the shortest distance between them can be found by creating a vector that connects the two lines (by subtracting a point on one line from a point on the other), i.e. (r2−r1)\left(\mathbf{r}_2 - \mathbf{r}_1\right), and projecting it onto the unit normal vector connecting the two lines. The unit normal is easily found by crossing their respective directionals and dividing by the magnitude of the resulting vector, as illustrated in Fig. 5. i.e.
s=∣projn^(r2−r1)∣=∣(r2−r1)⋅v1×v2∣v1×v2∣∣ s = \left| \text{proj}_{\mathbf{\hat{n}}} \left(\mathbf{r}_2 - \mathbf{r}_1\right)\right| = \left| \left(\mathbf{r}_2 - \mathbf{r}_1\right) \cdot \frac{\mathbf{v}_1 \times \mathbf{v}_2}{\left|\mathbf{v}_1 \times \mathbf{v}_2\right|}\right|
