Re: [mfg-smartcam] algebraic

I am assuming you are talking about the straight line distance between two points:   distance=sqrt[ (x1-x2)*(x1-x2) +(y1-y2)*(y1-y2)+(z1-Z2)*(z1-z2)] ie  thhe square root of the sum of the squares of the differences in each respective coordinate Where (x1,y1,z1) are the coordinates of the first point and (x2,y2,z2)=the coordinates of the second point.   If you wish to find the distance between two points along a surface, we get into some funky differential equations.  If you need that, please take Calculus 104 and Advanced Geometry 228 :)   Did that answer your question? ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Cox To: Smartcam Tech Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2000 4:10 PM Subject: [mfg-smartcam] algebraic Does anyone remember the algebraic formula for distance between two given points? I have to make a macro that will require it. It's been way to long ago for me to remember.   Thanks     Tom Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED]
