WHAT DOES EQUIDISTANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Equidistant

A point is said to be equidistant from a set of objects if the distances between that point and each object in the set are equal. In two-dimensional Euclidian geometry the locus of points equidistant from two given points is their perpendicular bisector. In three dimensions, the locus of points equidistant from two given points is a plane, and generalising further, in n-dimensional space the locus of points equidistant from two points in n-space is an -space. For a triangle the circumcentre is a point equidistant from each of the three end points. Every non degenerate triangle has such a point. This result can be generalised to cyclic polygons. The center of a circle is equidistant from every point on the circle. Likewise the center of a sphere is equidistant from every point on the sphere. A parabola is the set of points in a plane equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line, where distance from the directrix is measured along a line perpendicular to the directrix. In shape analysis, the topological skeleton or medial axis of a shape is a thin version of that shape that is equidistant from its boundaries.
