Place a measuring ruler or tape alongside the line. Read of the graduation marks which are next to the two points. Subtract the smaller from the larger and the result will be the length of the line segment.

How to find the perpendicular distance between two points?

To find the perpendicular distance between two points, you can use the distance formula and the concept of perpendicular lines. First, calculate the distance between the two points using the distance formula. Then, find the slope of the line passing through the two points. The perpendicular distance is the length of the line segment that connects the two points and forms a right angle with the line passing through them.

How do you find the equal distance from each of your three points?

It is the circumcentre of the triangle formed by the three points. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of two of the lines joining the three points. They will meet at the point that is equidistant from the three points.
