- Distance[ <Point>, <Object> ]
- Yields the (shortest) distance between a point and an object.
- 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 distance between A and (x(A), f(x(A))).
- 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.
Note: See also

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 |
