  2. Chebyshev distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_distance

    On a chessboard, where one is using a discrete Chebyshev distance, rather than a continuous one, the circle of radius r is a square of side lengths 2r, measuring from the centers of squares, and thus each side contains 2r+1 squares; for example, the circle of radius 1 on a chess board is a 3×3 square.

  3. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    1.0 mm – side of a square of area 1 mm²; 1.0 mm – diameter of a pinhead; 1.5 mm – average length of a flea [27] 2.54 mmdistance between pins on old dual in-line package (DIP) electronic components; 5 mm – length of an average red ant; 5 mm – diameter of an average grain of rice; 5.56×45mm NATO – standard ammunition size

  4. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    Although there are 10 mm in 1 cm, there are 100 mm 2 in 1 cm 2. Calculation of the area of a square whose length and width are 1 metre would be: 1 metre × 1 metre = 1 m 2. and so, a rectangle with different sides (say length of 3 metres and width of 2 metres) would have an area in square units that can be calculated as: 3 metres × 2 metres ...

  5. Mean line segment length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_line_segment_length

    In other words, it is the expected Euclidean distance between two random points, where each point in the shape is equally likely to be chosen. Even for simple shapes such as a square or a triangle, solving for the exact value of their mean line segment lengths can be difficult because their closed-form expressions can get quite complicated.

  6. Taxicab geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry

    A large L1-distance between the two vectors indicates a significant difference in the nature of the distributions while a small distance denotes similarly shaped distributions. This is equivalent to measuring the area between the two distribution curves because the area of each segment is the absolute difference between the two curves ...

  7. Metric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_space

    Wasserstein metrics measure the distance between two measures on the same metric space. The Wasserstein distance between two measures is, roughly speaking, the cost of transporting one to the other. The set of all m by n matrices over some field is a metric space with respect to the rank distance d ( A , B ) = r a n k ( B − A ) {\displaystyle ...

  8. Euclidean distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance

    That is (unlike road distance with one-way streets) the distance between two points does not depend on which of the two points is the start and which is the destination. [12] It is positive, meaning that the distance between every two distinct points is a positive number, while the distance from any point to itself is zero. [12]

  9. Gunter's chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunter's_chain

    Since an acre measured 10 square chains in Gunter's system, the entire process of land area measurement could be computed using measurements in chains, and then converted to acres by dividing the results by 10. [2] Hence 10 chains by 10 chains (100 square chains) equals 10 acres, 5 chains by 5 chains (25 square chains) equals 2.5 acres.
