Method I  d^2 =(1+t−1)^2 +(3−t−1)^2 +(2t−5)^2   =6t^2 −24t+29  ((d(d^2 ))/dt)=12t−24=0  ⇒t=2  d_(min) ^2 =6×2^2 −24×2+29=5  ⇒distance=d_(min) =(√5)

Method II  S(1,1,5)  P(1,3,0)  PQ=(1,−1,2)  PS=(0,2,−5)  distance=(√(∣PS∣^2 −(((PQ•PS)/(∣PQ∣)))^2 ))  =(√(0^2 +2^2 +(−5)^2 −(((1×0−1×2−2×5)^2 )/(1^2 +(−1)^2 +2^2 ))))  =(√(29−24))  =(√5)

Method III  S(1,1,5)  P(1,3,0)  SP=(0,2,−5)  PQ=(1,−1,2)  distance=((∣SP×PQ∣)/(∣PQ∣))=((∣(0,2,−5)×(1,−1,2)∣)/( (√(1^2 +(−1)^2 +2^2 ))))  =((√((−1)^2 +(−5)^2 +(−2)^2 ))/( (√6)))  =(√((30)/6))  =(√5)
MethodIIIS(1,1,5)P(1,3,0)SP=(0,2,5)PQ=(1,1,2)distance=SP×PQPQ=(0,2,5)×(1,1,2)12+(1)2+22=(1)2+(5)2+(2)26=306=5
