29.5 Computing Distances with Vectors — Point-to-Plane and Full Modeling

Use the idea of projection to find the distance from a point to a plane, pull together the full routine of setting up axes, assigning coordinates, and finding vectors, and pave the way for the next stage where analytic geometry makes geometry fully algebraic.
