Shortest Distance - Point to Plane

Given: Plane EBC and Point O
Required: Find and measure the true length
of the shortest line from point O to plane EBC.

A line from point O perpendicular to the edge view of plane EBC is the shortest possible distance from point O to plane EBC. It is TL in this view. The solution can be projected back into the given views.
