14.12.7 The length of a segment in space: distance
See Section 13.14.2 for distances in two-dimensional geometry.
The distance command finds the distance between two points.
-
distance takes two arguments:
P,Q, two points or two lists with the coordinates of the points.
- distance(P,Q) returns the distance between P and
Q.
Example.
Input:
distance(point(-1,1,1),point(1,1,1))
or:
distance([-1,1,1],[1,1,1])
Output:
