12 maj 2009 · In F#, the distance from the point c to the line segment between a and b is given by: let pointToLineSegmentDistance (a: Vector, b: Vector) (c: Vector) = let d = b - a let s = d.Length let lambda = (c - a) * d / s let p = (lambda |> max 0.0 |> min s) * d / s (a + p - c).Length The vector d points from a to b along the line segment.
22 paź 2020 · I need to calculate the shortest distance from anyplace on this line to a point (X', Y') elsewhere on the coordinate plane. If this is represented by X' in D1, and Y' in D2, I'm using the formula: =ABS ( (SLOPE (B1:B10,A1:A10)*D1-D2+INTERCEPT (B1:B10,A1:A10))/SQRT (SLOPE (B1:B10,A1:A10)2 +1)).

Shows how to find the perpendicular distance from a point to a line, and a proof of the formula.
The distance between a point and a line, is defined as the shortest distance between a fixed point and any point on the line. It is the length of the line segment that is perpendicular to the line and passes through the point.
The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line.
To calculate the perpendicular distance, you need to use the formula =ABS((B1-D1)*E1 - (A1-C1)*F1 + A1*D1 - B1*C1) / SQRT((B1-D1)^2 + (A1-C1)^2). This formula involves the cross product of the line vector and the vector from one of the line's points to the given point, as well as the squared length of the line vector.
