Let ABCD be the given parallelogram, where AB = DC = 8 m, AD = BC = 10 m, and BD = 4m. Let find AC.
Let's look at the triangle ABD. Since we know the measure length of its sides, we can find the value of cos ABD by using the Law of Cosine such as:
cos ABD = (8^2 + 4^2 - 10^2)/(2 x 8 x 4) = (64 + 16 - 100)/64 = -20/64 = -0.3125
Let's say that the diagonals intersect each other at the point E. Let's look at the triangle ABE. Since we know cos ABD = -0.3125, m AB = 8 m, and m BE = 4/2 = 2 m, we can find the length measure of AE which is one half of the diagonal AC. So
(m AE)^2 = 8^2 + 2^2 - 2(8)(2)cos ABD = 64 + 4 - 32(-0.3125) = 78
m AE = √78 ≈ 8.83
Thus, m AC = 2 X 8.83 = 17.67 m thats alot of work
The shortest distance between any two points is called displacement.
Multiple straight lines.
Distance.
The shortest distance between four points is a straight line to and from each individual point. If all four points are aligned, the result will be a single straight line through all four points.
The two points and the centre of the earth define a plane, and the intersection of this plane with the surface of the earth is a circle - the "Great Circle". The shortest distance between the two points is the smaller of the two arcs on this circle.
The shortest distance between any two points is called displacement.

In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.
