> If you naively compute the distance between them using the familiar Euclidean formula √(a²+b²) That formula may be familiar, but it doesn’t compute a distance. A simple demonstration of why this is necessary is to consider the distance between the points 3 and 4. If you naively compute the distance between them using the familiar Euclidean formula √(a²+b²) you get: √(3²+4²) = √(9+16) = √(25) = 5 That can't be right... |
