The distance between corresponding points on a wave, such as two crests or two troughs, is called the wavelength.
To find the actual distance between two points on Earth using a graphic scale, measure the distance between the two points on the map using the scale provided. Convert this measurement to actual distance by using the ratio scale (e.g., 1 cm = 100 km) provided on the map. Multiply the measured distance by the ratio to find the actual distance between the two points on Earth.
the distance between two points
Yes, the distance between two points can be found if the longitude and latitude are known for both points. This can be calculated using the haversine formula, which takes into account the curvature of the Earth to determine the shortest distance between the two points.
Not necessarily. The longest distance between two points in a triangle is the distance between the vertices that are farthest apart. This can be between any two vertices, not just those connected by the longest side of the triangle.
