Which units in the metric system measure distance?
That is the famous "metre", wellknown all over the world.
Which two statements correctly describe the concepts of administrative distance and metric?
Administrative distance is a way to prioritize routing information from different routing protocols; a lower administrative distance is preferred. The metric, on the other hand, is a value that represents the cost of a particular route, aiding in selecting the best path to a destination.
When measuring long distances in customary units other than miles what metric unit of measure would you use for the same distance?
Kilometers
The basic metric measurement of length?
The basic metric measurement of length is the meter (m). It is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum during a specific fraction of a second. Other common metric units of length include the centimeter (cm) and the kilometer (km).
What do you use to measure speed in the metric system?
You use exactly the same instruments to measure speed in the metric system as you use in any other system. For example, a speedometer, or a distance measuring device and a stopwatch. The difference is that these devices are calibrated in metric units, instead of old-fashioned units.

Difference between distance and Euclidean distance?
There are many ways to measure distance in math. Euclidean distance is one of them. Given two points P1 and P2 the Euclidean distance ( in two dimensions, although the formula very easily generalizes to any number of dimensions) is as follows: Let P1 have the coordiantes (x1, y1) and P2 be (x2, y2) Then the Euclidean distance between them is the square root of (x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2 . To understand some other ways of measuring "distance" I introduce the term METRIC. A metric is a distance function. You put the points into the function (so they are its domain) and you get the distance as the output (so that is the range). Another metric is the Taxicab Metric, formally known as the Minkowski distance. We often use the small letter d to mean the distance between points. So d(P1, P2) is the distance between points. Using the Taxicab Metric, d(x, y) = |x1 - x2| + |y2 - y2|
What is definition of metric data?
Metric data is any reading which is at least at an interval scale, as opposed to non metric data, which can be nominal or ordinal. Weight, height, distance, revenue, cost etc. are interval scales or above. Hence they are metric data. On the other hand, satisfaction ratings, Yes/No responses, Male/Female readings etc., are non metric data.
What is the distance between Israel and Lebanon?
Lebanon and Israel border each other, so about 0 miles or 0 kilometers for the metric system.

What is a good way to explaine the definition for distance education?
Distance education is when you take a course or program, for a degree or certificate online. You do your school work the same, and read about it, but you don't go to a classroom with other students, you usually do this from home online.
Definition of distance between two points?
Depends on the metric defined on the space. The "normal" Euclidean metric for the distance between two points is the length of the shortest distance between them - ie the length of the straight line joining them. If the coordinates of the two points (in 2-dimensions) are (a,b) and (c,d) then the distance between them is sqrt([(a - c)2 + (b - d)2] This can be generalised to 3 (or more) dimensions. However, there are other metrics. One such is the "Manhattan metric" or the "Taxicab Geometry" which was developed by Minkowski. For more information on that, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_metric
What is the equation to get the distance algebra?
It is possible to define a number of different metrics (measures of distance) on a space and the formula will depend on the metric. A simple pair of metrics to illustrate: imagine a town with a road layout like downtown Manhattan. Streets and Avenues at right angles to one another. The distance from one corner to another is a number of avenues across plus a number of streets up (or down). This is known as the taxicab or Minkowski metric. An alternative measure is a "as-the-crow-flies" distance. Both measures are perfectly valid but will give rise to different formulae. There are other metric, too.
How do you prove the shortest line between two points is the segment that joins them on a plane?
The shortest line between two points is NOT always the segment that joins (or jion) them on a plane: the answer depends on the concept of distance or the metric used for the space. If using a taxicab or Manhattan metric it is the sum of the North-South distance and the East-West distance. There are many other possible metrics.The proof for a general metric is the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality but this site is totally incapable of dealing with the mathematical symbols required to prove it.
Is formula a metric or customary measurement?
A formula is neither metric nor customary. Sometimes the same formula will apply for both systems, only the units will change: for example, average speed = distance/time. In other cases the coefficients may change.
