Question 31407: Squared Euclidean Distance

Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. P=(-6, -1) and Q=(0, 6). Find d(P,Q)² for the Euclidean L2 distance.

• G001 — Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. P=(-6, -1) and Q=(0, 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(0, -6)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL Q minus P axis0 = 6

Distance PQ ORIGINAL Q minus P axis1 := sub(6, -1)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL Q minus P axis1 = 7

Distance PQ ORIGINAL signed delta squared axis0 := mul(6, 6)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL signed delta squared axis0 = 36

Distance PQ ORIGINAL signed delta squared axis1 := mul(7, 7)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL signed delta squared axis1 = 49

Distance PQ ORIGINAL sum of two squares := sum(36, 49)

Distance PQ ORIGINAL sum of two squares = 85

source roles = [Distance PQ, [-6, -1], [0, 6]]

derived = [[6, 7], [36, 49], 85]
