Definition of distance between two points? - Answers

Depends on the metric defined on the space. The "normal" Euclidean metric for the distance between two points is the length of the shortest distance between them - ie the length of the straight line joining them. If the coordinates of the two points (in 2-dimensions) are (a,b) and (c,d) then the distance between them is sqrt([(a - c)2 + (b - d)2] This can be generalised to 3 (or more) dimensions. However, there are other metrics. One such is the "Manhattan metric" or the "Taxicab Geometry" which was developed by Minkowski. For more information on that, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_metric
