The shortest distance between the following lines:

r⃗=(i^+j^−k^)+s(2i^+j^+k^)\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) + s(2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})r=(i^+j^​−k^)+s(2i^+j^​+k^)

r⃗=(i^+j^+2k^)+t(4i^+2j^+2k^)\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) + t(4\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k})r=(i^+j^​+2k^)+t(4i^+2j^​+2k^), where s and t are scalars, is:
