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.

If four points are collinear they are also coplaner?
I dont think that "If four points are collinear they are also coplaner," is the same thing as "If four points are coplaner they are also collinear,". The definition of collinear is at least three points on the same line. To define a plane is to have threenoncollinear points.
4 points are always coplanar?
Three points are, but not four.

If the shortest distance between two points is a straight line what is the shortest distance between two straight lines?
The question is curiously vague. Do the two lines exist in the same plane? If they do, then they must intersect somewhere -- unless they are parallel. For non-parallel lines, the distance between the two lines at the point of intersection is zero. For parallel lines, the shortest distance between them is the length of the line segment that is perpendicular to both. For intersecting lines, there is an infinite number of distances between the infinite number of pairs of points on the lines. But for any pair of points -- one point on line A and another on line B -- the shortest distance between them will still be a straight line. Given two lines in 3D (space) there are four possibilities # the lines are collinear (they overlap) # the lines intersect at one point # the lines are parallel # the lines are skew (not parallel and not intersecting) The question of "shortest distance" is only interesting in the skew case. Let's say p0 and p1 are points on the lines L0 and L1, respectively. Also d0 and d1 are the direction vectors of L0 and L1, respectively. The shortest distance is (p0 - p1) * , in which * is dot product, and is the normalized cross product. The point on L0 that is nearest to L1 is p0 + d0(((p1 - p0) * k) / (d0 * k)), in which k is d1 x d0 x d1.

Can you draw a circle through the four points of a trapezoid?
Yes, you can draw a circle through the four points of a trapezoid, because the four points of the trapezoid can be equidistant from one point, making that distance the radius.
What is the distance between Roanoke Virginia and Alexandria Virginia?
Probably about four hours or so. Roanoke is very very southwest and Alexandria, which is practically DC, is very northeast. Virginia is a big wide state.

Why is a map scale important?
The scale lets you figure out how far places are from anywhere else. If the scale is one inch per mile and two points are four inches apart, then they are actually four miles away from each other.
What is the shortest length that could be measured with a cm ruler that would contain four significant figures?
1 cm is the 1st significant digit on this cm ruler.0.1 cm (= 1 mm) is the 2nd, 0.01 cm is the 3rd and finally0.001 cm (= 0.010 mm =10 mu) gives you the shortest measurable distance in FOUR significant figures, this means it is accurate to measure difference between 0.001 and 0.002 cm
