It depends on the route that you take. There is nothing in the question to suggest that the distance of interest is the shortest distance. In real life, the quickest route is not necessarily the shortest since travelling on highways may be faster even if longer. In such cases the relevant distance may not be the shortest. Also, you might wish to take the "scenic" route.
In any built-up area the shortest meaningful distance between two points will not be "as the crow flies": the taxicab metric (for example 3 blocks East and 4 blocks North), which was developed by Minkowsky, is more appropriate.
On the surface of a sphere, such as the Earth, the shortest distance is an arc of the great circle. In most cases this is not the straight line on a map.

This is the measured value from one point to another?
DISTANCE!!!!
How can you make two arrowheads and a rhombus out of a square?
Suppose the square is ABCD. Draw the diagonal AC.Mark one point on the diagonal, P (not the midpoint of AC), at a distance x from A. Mark another point, Q, also on the diagonal, at the same distance from C.Then,PBQD is a rhombus,ABPD and BCDQ are arrowheads.Suppose the square is ABCD.

What formula would you use to find the distance from one point to another?
The Distance Formula! D = square root of (y2-y1) quantity squared + (x2-x1) quantity squared
Why is the shortest distance between 2 points a straight line?
When you curve the line you are travelling you are no longer going directly from one point to the other. If you want to go from one point to another you would want to go directly to the second point.
What is distance distance between two points?
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.
When measuring one point to another what are you measuring?
When measuring one point to another point you are measuring distance.
Distance from one point to another?
displacment
This is the measured value from one point to another?
DISTANCE!!!!
What is the shortest distance to get from one point to another?
The shortest distance is displacement and total distance is length.
What is the positive number that tells you how far one point is from another point?
It is called the distance between the points. A common one is the Pythagorean distance but there are many other measures.
What is a description of how far it is from one point to another measured in united of length is called?
Distance.
What is the distance from one point on a circle to another that passes through the center?
The distance through the center of a circle is called the diameter.
What is the 4 letter word which is an architectural term that means the distance from one point to another?
Span.
What is the longest driving distance from one point to another?
Probably over 5000 miles outside of the US.

What is the span of the compass in drawing a circle through one point given the center at another point?
It is the distance between the two points.
How can you calculate the average velocity of a bowling ball?
First, find an increment of distance. In between one place and another. Then, time how long it takes for the ball to get from point a to point b.Velocity= Distance divided by Time
