Is it not usually realistic to measure the distance between two points on a map as a staright line?

When measuring distance from point to point on a flat map the accuracy depends on the way it was changed to flat from the globe. Short distances are okay but long distances depend on the Great Circle.

How do you measure pipe between 2 45 degrees angles?
you measure your distance from where you want your pipework to start and finishing multiply the distance by 1.414,when you get your answer you subtract the centers of your 45 degree fittings this will give your travel between your fittings
How do measure an angle with a ruler?
You should use a special device for measuring angles - a protractor. With a ruler, it is much more complicated, but still possible: you can mark two points on the angle, one on each side; measure the distance from the vertext of the angle to those points; measure the distance between the points; then use the Law of Cosines to calculate the angle.
What is the area of 18 yd?
None. A yard is a measure of distance. According to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from a measure of distance to one of area is not valid.
How are square units and units different?
In the context of length, a unit is a measure of distance, whereas a square unit is a measure of area.
How many meter in 100 square meter?
This question cannot be answered sensibly. A square metre is a measure of area, with dimensions [L2]. A metre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.
What is the difference between displacement and speed?
Displacement is a measure of distance. Speed is a measure of the RATE at which the distance is traversed.

What is a measure of a straight-line distance between two points called?
the measure of a straight-line distance between two points is called length.
How can you find the measure of a distance without measure it directly?
By using the distance formula between two coordinated points
How do you measure the distance between two heavenly bodies?
Let's say we want to measure the distance between objects A and B. First, we measure the distance from the Earth(point E) to these objects(using Doppler-shifts).Then, we measure the angle AEB.We now know the lengths of two sides, and the angle between them. That's how we find the distance AB.
How do you measure the distance between nuclei?
meter stick.
What is the distance between two objects on a table?
take a measuring tape and measure the distance between the two objects
Are kilometers used to measure the distance between cities?
Kilometres or miles are used to measure distances between cities.
What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
How can displacement and distance be two different things?
distance is the measure of the length between two points where as displacement is the shortest distance between the points.
