Explanation
- The shortest distance between two points is called displacement.
- Displacement is a measure of the straight-line distance between two points.
- It is a scalar quantity.
Key Point: The longest distance between two points is called the circumference (if the points are on a circle) or a diagonal (if the points are on a polygon or a rectangle).
