Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude.
When we know the horizontal and vertical distances between two points we can calculate the straight line distance like this: distance = √ a2 + b2. Imagine you know the location of two points (A and B) like here. What is the distance between them? We can run lines down from A, and along from B, to make a Right Angled Triangle.
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. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.
The distance between two points in physical space is the length of a straight line between them, which is the shortest possible path. This is the usual meaning of distance in classical physics, including Newtonian mechanics. Straight-line distance is formalized mathematically as the Euclidean distance in two-and three-dimensional space.
A straight line is a figure formed when two points A (x 1, y 1) and B (x 2, y 2) are connected with the shortest distance between them, and the line ends are extended to infinity. In the image shown below, a straight line between two points A and B is shown.
A subspace S S of a metric space (X, d) ( X, d) is a line if it is a maximal subspace of (X, d) ( X, d) satisfying the 4-collinear condition. Now every line S S in a Banach space (in particular, in R2 R 2 equipped with the rectilinear distance) is a curve.
