In Sympy, the function
distance() is used to find the shortest distance between a given line and a given point.
Syntax: Line.distance(other) Parameter: other: a point Returns: shortest distance between a line and a point Raises: NotImplementedError is raised if `other` is not a Point
Example #1:
# import sympy and Point, LineĀ from sympy import Point, LineĀ Ā Ā p1, p2 = Point(0, 0), Point(1, 1) s = Line(p1, p2) Ā Ā # using distance() method shortestDistance = s.distance(Point(-1, 1)) Ā Ā print(shortestDistance) |
Output:
sqrt(2)
Example #2:
# import sympy and Point, LineĀ from sympy import Point, LineĀ Ā Ā p1, p2 = Point(0, 0, 0), Point(1, 1, 1) s = Line(p1, p2) Ā Ā # using distance() method shortestDistance = s.distance(Point(-1, 1, 1)) Ā Ā print(shortestDistance) |
Output:
2*sqrt(6)/3
