Please clarify your question.
The distance from pole to pole is always the same. 20,014 kilometers, or 12,416 miles when you are measuring across the earths surface.
Any points on the earth would have to have its distance from either pole extrapolated and then the number subtracted from the total distance of 12,416 miles to get the distance to the opposite pole.
Formula distance to either pole= ( 12,416 - distance to opposite pole )
or
12,416 = X + Pole B Distance
or
12,416 = Pole A Distance + X
or
Pole A Distance = 12,416 - Pole B Distance
or
Pole B Distance = 12,416 - Pol A Distance

What is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole and it is noted by what?
Latitude, parallels
Is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole it is noted by?
Longitude, meridians
Definein in one sentence the term latitude?
The angular distance north or south from the equator of a point on the earth's surface, measured on the meridian of the point.
Is the shortest point of a distance measured along the perpendicular segments from the point to the line?
No it is measured from the edge
Is the shortest distance from a point to a line the distance measured along the perpindicular from the point to the line?
Yes.
This is the measured value from one point to another?
DISTANCE!!!!
The set of points in space that are a given distance from a given point is?
A spherical surface, with its center at the given point, and its radius equal to the given distance.
A set of points that are ALL THE same distance from a given point?
The set of all points a given distance from a center point is a circle. The given distance is the radius, and the given point is the center. Or, in 3 dimensional space, a sphere.
What is the set of points in a space that are a given distance from a given point?
They form the sphere whose center is the given point and whose radius is the given distance.
What are 4 characteristics of waves?
Amplitude:The height of waves measured in meters Frequency:The no of complete waves that pass a point in one second,measured in Hertz(Hz) Wavelength:The distance between adjacent crests, measured in meters Period:The time it takes one complete wave to pass a given point,measured in seconds
The set points in space that are a given distance from a given point is?
In three dimensions, the solid defined as being bound by the set of points at a given distance form a point is a sphere. In two dimensions, the figure defined as being bound by the set of points at a given distance from a point is a circle. In one dimension, a line segment is bound by the two points at a given distance from a point.
What is the set of all points in a plane that are a given distance from a given point?
That's a "circle". The given distance is the circle's radius, and the given point is the circle's center.
