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

Heights and Distances

One of the important applications of trigonometry is height and distance. In architecture and astronomy, it has very useful and important applications such as calculating distances, slopes, etc. The concept of height and distance is used in our everyday life. It deals with studying the relationship between the sides of the triangle and its angles.

Heights and Distances

Introduction Trigonometry has a wide range of applications, mostly in engineering, architecture, astronomy, and navigation. One of them is to measure height and distance between two objects or places by applying different formulae. These formulae help in finding out the accurate height, distance, depth, and angle between different objects. Using trigonometry, astronomers and scientists have
