Περιγραφή[]
Γενικά ο όρος "απόσταση" δηλώνει το διάστημα μεταξύ δύο σημείων (πχ μεταξύ πόλεων, λιμένων κλπ).
What is the difference if we want to find the directed distance from point a "to" b rather than from a "and" b?
Lets just say a=3 and b= 5
- the directed distance would from 3 to 5 is +2.
- The directed distance from 5 to 3 is -2.
This is different than the "difference between" or the "distance between" the two, as the distance is 2 (i.e. the magnitude of the directed distance).
For points on a line, this difference may seem trivial, but for point in n-dimensional space, the distance is always just a magnitude, whereas the directed distance will include a magnitude and a direction (in linear space, the direction is just positive or negative, but in n-dimensional space, the direction is an n-dimensional unit vector).

The inner product of x with itself is always non-negative. This product allows us to define the "length" of a vector x through square root:
This length function satisfies the required properties of a norm and is called the Euclidean norm on Rn.
Finally, one can use the norm to define a metric (or distance function) on Rn by
This distance function is called the Euclidean metric. This formula expresses a special case of the Pythagorean theorem.
This distance function (which makes a metric space) is sufficient to define all Euclidean geometry, including the dot product. Thus, a real coordinate space together with this Euclidean structure is called Euclidean space. Its vectors form an inner product space (in fact a Hilbert space), and a normed vector space.
The metric space structure is the main reason behind the use of real numbers R, not some other ordered field, as the mathematical foundation of Euclidean (and many other) spaces. Euclidean space is a complete metric space, a property which is impossible to achieve operating over rational numbers, for example.
