R0059-30212 · q-20261008-advance-20261012-r06-euclidean-length-0087

Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthogonal Euclidean L2 plane and one length unit. P=(0,0), Q=(-11,0), R=(11,0). Give (P-to-R path length via Q, direct P-to-R length, path−direct defect, are they equal?).

  • G001 — Use one equal-unit orthogonal Euclidean L2 plane and one length unit. P=(0,0), Q=(-11,0), R=(11,0). Give (P-to-R path length via Q, direct P-to-R length, path−direct defect, are they equal?).

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

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-density12-length-triangle-defect, density12_length_triangle_defect, integer_euclidean_axis]

After

derived = [[path_via_middle, direct_endpoint_length, path_minus_direct, equality]]

Conditions: none

Retain the ORIGINAL bank full operation prefix,domain and ordered answer roles.Use orthogonal_equal_unit only where a frame is declared,and degrees where an angle unit is declared.Integer fractions retain/1.Do not invent parameters or alter original bilingual sources.

Before

After

derived = [33, 11, 22, No]

Conditions: none

Take the absolute lengths of BOTH legs before adding;the direct endpoint length uses only abs(z-x).The gap is0 when the middle lies in the CLOSED endpoint segment,including endpoints,and positive outside.This exact axis instance is not a general infinite-metric proof.
