What is defined as the distance between two points?
The metric of a geometric space is defined as the distance between two points.
What is distance relating to math?
The question is too vague for a proper answer. Distance can crop up in the context of speed, acceleration, kinetics, etc. In each case the definition and formula may vary. There is also the concept of distance between two points in a metric space and the measure of distance will depend on the metric defined on the space. The Euclidean (or Pythagorean) metric and the Minkovsky (or taxicab) metric are two of the more common metrics but there are loads more.
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.
What metric unit would you use to find the distance between two cities?
You would use kilometers.
What is the distance formula dervived from?
A distance formula is derived from a metric that is defined over the relevant space. There are many different ways of defining a metric.A simple one is sometimes called the taxi cab or Manhattan metric. In a grid environment, the distance between two points is the sum of the North-South distance and the East-West distance.
What is defined as the distance between two points?
The metric of a geometric space is defined as the distance between two points.
What is the Metric unit used for measuring distance between your eyes?

What metric system to you use to measure distance between two cities?
Kilometers
What metric would you use for The distance between you and the nearest stop light?
Meters.
What measurement do you use for a distance between towns?
The distance between two towns can be measured in either imperial or metric units of length. Imperial unit would be miles, whilst the metric unit would be kilometres.

Meters
What has the length of 1 centimeter?
The distance between the 0 and 1 markings on a metric ruler.
What is the distance between New York and seattle using the metric system?

Difference between distance and Euclidean distance?
There are many ways to measure distance in math. Euclidean distance is one of them. Given two points P1 and P2 the Euclidean distance ( in two dimensions, although the formula very easily generalizes to any number of dimensions) is as follows: Let P1 have the coordiantes (x1, y1) and P2 be (x2, y2) Then the Euclidean distance between them is the square root of (x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2 . To understand some other ways of measuring "distance" I introduce the term METRIC. A metric is a distance function. You put the points into the function (so they are its domain) and you get the distance as the output (so that is the range). Another metric is the Taxicab Metric, formally known as the Minkowski distance. We often use the small letter d to mean the distance between points. So d(P1, P2) is the distance between points. Using the Taxicab Metric, d(x, y) = |x1 - x2| + |y2 - y2|
