In a plane with the normal (x,y) coordinates, the usual distance formula is that the distance between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is √((x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2). This can be extended to n dimensions by letting the distance between (a1,a2,a3,...,an) and (b1,b2,b3,...,bn) be √((a1-b1)2+(a2-b2)2+...+(an-bn)2)

It is called the distance between the points. A common one is the Pythagorean distance but there are many other measures.


What are circles dimensioned by?

there are 3 measurements of a circle the diameter, which is the distance from one point of the circle through the center point to the other side the radius, which is the distance from the center point to any point of the circle (which is 1/2 of the diameter) and the circumference, which is the distance from one point on the circle all the way around to the point you started at


Is a point a radius or a diameter?

No, neither. The radius is the distance from the center point of a circle to its edge. The diameter is the distance from one edge to the other that passes through the center point. The diameter is therefore twice the radius.


How do you find the equidistant point for a straight line?

The equidistant point of a straight line is the middle. Measure the distance from one end to the other and half it.


The is the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave?

The distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave is called the wavelength. It is usually measured in meters and represents the distance it takes for the wave to complete one full cycle.

What is line segment RA?

with no other details I can only explain it as the distance between point R and point A. More details are needed if you want that distance when compared with other points.


How do you find coordinates of a point given 1 point and midpoint?

since you know of one points and the halfway point between the other point. just multiply the halfway point by 2 and this is the total distance between the two points.


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.
