The answer depends on the metric which is defined on the space.
The Euclidean length, if the end points and their coordinates are A = (xa, ya) and B = (xb, yb) then the length is sqrt[(xa - xb)^2 + (ya - yb)^2]. In 3 dimensional space a corresponding term in za and zb would be added and so on.
The Minkowski length is |xa - xb| + |ya - yb|

How do you find the length of a line on a grid?
One characteristic of a line is that the length continues on forever.You can only find the length of a line segment.
How can you find the length of a line segment on the coordinate plane whose slope is not zero or undefined?
The length of a line between two points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a Cartesian Plane is given by the formula: length = square root [ (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 ]

How to Derive the formula of distance between a point and a line?
You must first write an equation for the line through the point perpendicular to the line. Then, find the intersection between the two lines. Lastly, use this point and the distance formula to find the length of the perpendicular segment connecting the given point and the original line. That will lead to the following formula, d = |AX1+BY1- C|/(sqrt(A2+B2)), Where A, B and C represent the coefficients of the given line in standard form and (X1,Y1) is the given point.
What is the formula for find out the length of the line which cross a rectangular shape?
Use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle.
How do you find the midpoint of a line?
The midpoint of a line can be found easily by using the midpoint formula. Find the length of the line and simply divide it in two.
What is the length of a line segment?
The length of a line segment is called the distance. To find the distance, you need to know the coordinate of its endpoints given as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and the distance formula.

How can you find the length of a line segment in the coordinate plane?
The formula is the square root of: (x2-x1)^2 plus (y2-y1)^2

Plane
Given the coordinates of a triangle how do you find the length of each side?
This is 3 separate problems that can be solved using the same equation. Take the coordinates of the points of one side and caluclate the length of the line using the formula. This formula uses the X & Y values to calculate the Length. Repeat the same calculation for the other two sides.
