  2. Distance from a point to a plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    In either the coordinate or vector formulations, one may verify that the given point lies on the given plane by plugging the point into the equation of the plane. To see that it is the closest point to the origin on the plane, observe that p {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} } is a scalar multiple of the vector v {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} } defining ...

  3. Chebyshev distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_distance

    The two dimensional Manhattan distance has "circles" i.e. level sets in the form of squares, with sides of length √ 2 r, oriented at an angle of π/4 (45°) to the coordinate axes, so the planar Chebyshev distance can be viewed as equivalent by rotation and scaling to (i.e. a linear transformation of) the planar Manhattan distance.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_distance_function

    The graph (bottom, in red) of the signed distance between the points on the xy plane (in blue) and a fixed disk (also represented on top, in gray) A more complicated set (top) and the graph of its signed distance function (bottom, in red).

  5. Hesse normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesse_normal_form

    Distance from the origin O to the line E calculated with the Hesse normal form. Normal vector in red, line in green, point O shown in blue. In analytic geometry, the Hesse normal form (named after Otto Hesse) is an equation used to describe a line in the Euclidean plane, a plane in Euclidean space, or a hyperplane in higher dimensions.

  6. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.

  7. Distance between two parallel lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_between_two...

    the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line y = − x / m . {\displaystyle y=-x/m\,.} This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems

  8. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

    The shortest distance between two points in plane is a Cartesian straight line. The Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate the distance between points in a plane. Even over short distances, the accuracy of geographic distance calculations which assume a flat Earth depend on the method by which the latitude and longitude coordinates have been ...

  9. Euclidean distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance

    The distance from a point to a plane in three-dimensional Euclidean space [7] The distance between two lines in three-dimensional Euclidean space [8] The distance from a point to a curve can be used to define its parallel curve, another curve all of whose points have the same distance to the given curve.
