What is the distance between 2 parallel lines measured along a perpendicular to the 2 lines?
The shortest distance between two paralle lines is the length of the line that is perpendicular to both line and intersects both.
The distance between 2 point is called?
It is simply called the distance between the two points - simple as that. How that distance is measured will depend on the nature of the surface on which the two points are located as well as on the metric for measuring distance that is defined on that space.The common metric in Euclidean space is the Pythagorean distance while on the surface of a sphere (like the Earth, for example), distances are measured along the great arc.
The height if the triangular faces is called?
The slant height of an object is the distance measured along a lateras face from the base to the apex . It is measured in the center of the face.
What figure do you get if you join two points in cartesian plane?
You get a curve. If you join them along the shortest [Euclidean] distance between them, you get a straight line.
What is the distance between 41 degrees N and 40 degrees N?
The shortest possible distance is along a meridian of constant longitude (a due north-south line).That distance is 69.1 miles (111.22 km).
Is the shortest point of a distance measured along the perpendicular segments from the point to the line?
No it is measured from the edge
Creepage distance in insulators?
It is the shortest distance between the conductors measured along with the surface of insulators.
What is the distance between 2 parallel lines measured along a perpendicular to the 2 lines?
The shortest distance between two paralle lines is the length of the line that is perpendicular to both line and intersects both.
The shortest distance between any two points on the globe is along?
The equator.

What is the shortest highway route from Miami to New York?
The shortest and fastest highway route from New York City to Miami, Florida will be along Interstate 95 South all the way. The approximate distance from New York City to Miami along I-95 is 1,276-miles.
What are the paralles of latitude?
The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
How do you determine given two lines which share a plane the point on each line where the shortest distance between the two lines is equal to some quantity?
If the two lines are parallel, then the shortest distance between them is a single, fixed quantity. It is the distance between any point on one line along the perpendicular to the line.Now consider the situation where the two lines meet at a point X, at an angle 2y degrees. Suppose you wish to find points on the lines such that the shortest distance between them is 2d units. [The reason for using multiples of 2 is that it avoids fractions].The points are at a distance d*cos(y) from X, along each of the two lines.
