29.5.4 The General Routine for Solving by Coordinates
Core ideaFind a perpendicular corner and set up axes, write coordinates, find the direction and normal vectors, then plug into the formula — five steps that handle it all.
Module goal. 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.
