- Distance[ <Point>, <Object> ]
- Yields the shortest distance between a point and a geometric object, or the vertical distance to a function.
- Note: The command works for points, segments, lines, conics and implicit curves. For a given function f and a given point A, the command
Distance[A,f]yields the vertical distance between the point and the function.
- Distance[ <Line>, <Line> ]
- Yields the distance between two parallel lines.
- Note: The distance between intersecting lines is 0. Thus, this command is only interesting for parallel lines.

Following text is about a feature that is supported only in GeoGebra 5.0.
Note: From GeoGebra 5, this command will work with 3D objects as well |
