2. 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.

3. Time–distance diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time–distance_diagram

   A time–distance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...

   MileIQ is an American-based technology company that develops a mileage tracking and logging app. [2] The app uses automatic mileage tracking to calculate mileage while driving for business purposes that can then be used to report for reimbursement and potentially a tax deduction with the IRS, being attributed as the first mobile app to passively track such data.

5. Distance from a point to a plane - Wikipedia

   The formula for the closest point to the origin may be expressed more succinctly using notation from linear algebra.The expression + + in the definition of a plane is a dot product (,,) (,,), and the expression + + appearing in the solution is the squared norm | (,,) |.

6. Vincenty's formulae - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae

   Vincenty's formulae are two related iterative methods used in geodesy to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a spheroid, developed by Thaddeus Vincenty (1975a). They are based on the assumption that the figure of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, and hence are more accurate than methods that assume a spherical Earth, such ...
