Distance Formula from a Point to a Line

In geometry, if you need to calculate the distance of a point from any given line, identify the shortest distance that rests between the line and the given point. In general, you can draw an infinite number of straight lines from a point onto a line lying in the plane.  Now, how can you determine

Understanding Slope of a Line

Introduction The slope of a line is a measurement of the line’s steepness and direction. We can find the slope of lines in a coordinate plane and can assist forecast whether they are parallel, perpendicular, or none. Any two different points sitting on a line can be used to compute the slope. The slope of

Relation Between Radius of Curvature and Focal Length

It has been found that the focal length of a spherical mirror, whether it is concave or convex, is equal to half of its radius of curvature. However, both concave and convex mirrors have the same relationship between focal length and radius of curvature.  In addition, the radius of the hollow sphere of which the

Properties and Relation of Straight Lines

Properties Straight Line Straight lines have the following qualities. The length of a straight line is endless. We will never be able to calculate the distance between the line’s two extreme points There are no areas and no volume in a straight line. However, it has an infinite length A one-dimensional figure is a straight

Problems on Heights and Distances

Trigonometry is one of the subjects that academics from all around the world have been studying for a very long time. The field of astronomy was the impetus behind the development of trigonometry. Since that time, astronomers have made use of it in a variety of ways, such as to determine the distances between the
