  1. Distance is a numerical or occasionally qualitative measurement of how far apart objects or points are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over").

    What is the distance formula?
    The distance formula is a method used to calculate the distance between two points. It can be applied to points in any dimension, such as finding the distance between two points on a line (1d), in a plane (2d), or in space (3d). For instance, suppose A=(x_1) A = (x1) and B=(x_2) B = (x2) are two points on the real number line.

    What does distance mean?
    The Simple English Wiktionary has a definition for: distance. Distance is how far one thing is from another thing. It is also a measure of the space between two things. It can be measured along any path. Thus, someone who goes around in a circle has traveled a distance, even though his position has not changed.

    What is the distance between a point and a line?
    The distance \(d\) between a point \((P)\) and a line \((L)\) can be defined as the length of the line segment with \(P\) as an endpoint and perpendicular to \(L\). For a point and a line (or in the third dimension, a plane), you could technically draw an infinite number of lines between the point and line or point and plane.
