Anuj and Tara are flying kites from their rooftops. Anuj’s kite’s string is represented by a straight line, given by  (x-4)/1=(y-2)/3=(z-1)/2. Tara‘s position is at (2i ̂-2j ̂+k ̂ ), and her kite’s string is perpendicular to Anuj’s .

Find out how far Tara is from where the kite strings intersect. Show your work.

Anuj and Tara are flying kites from their rooftops. Anuj’s kite’s string is represented by a straight line, given by (𝑥−4)/1=(𝑦−2)/3=(𝑧−1)/2. Tara‘s position is at (2𝑖 ̂−2𝑗 ̂+𝑘 ̂ ), and her kite’s string is perpendicular to Anuj’s . Find out how far Tara is from where the kite strings intersect. Show your work.
