Question 31403: Squared Euclidean Distance

Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. P=(-10, 3) and Q=(-8, 6). Find d(P,Q)² for the Euclidean L2 distance.

• G001 — Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. P=(-10, 3) and Q=(-8, 6). Find d(P,Q)² for the Euclidean L2 distance.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

source roles = [qf-distance-squared, squared_distance, frame, euclidean_orthonormal_equal_units]

derived = [[integer_squared_norm]]

Distance PQ ORIGINAL Q minus P axis0 := sub(-8, -10)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL Q minus P axis0 = 2

Distance PQ ORIGINAL Q minus P axis1 := sub(6, 3)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL Q minus P axis1 = 3

Distance PQ ORIGINAL signed delta squared axis0 := mul(2, 2)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL signed delta squared axis0 = 4

Distance PQ ORIGINAL signed delta squared axis1 := mul(3, 3)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL signed delta squared axis1 = 9

Distance PQ ORIGINAL sum of two squares := sum(4, 9)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL sum of two squares = 13

source roles = [Distance PQ, [-10, 3], [-8, 6]]

derived = [[2, 3], [4, 9], 13]
