Between two Points

Syntax: Distance[Point A,Point B]

Action: Returns to the algebra window the distance between two points.

Example: Distance[A, B]

Notes:

Between a Point and a Line

Syntax: Distance[Point A,Line b]

Action: Returns to the algebra window the distance between a point and a line.

Example

Distance[a, b]

Notes

Distance Example

Between two lines

Syntax

Distance[Line a,Line b]

Action

Returns to the algebra window the distance between two lines.

Example

Distance[A, b]

Notes

• If the lines are intersecting the command returns a zero to the algebra window.
• This function is interesting for parallel lines.
