Tresset [83]

This question is an illustration of the distance postulate.

<h3>What is distance postulate ?</h3>

The distance between any two different points equates to a single positive real integer, according to the postulate of distance.

The full text is: The distance is a positive unique integer between every pair of different locations.

Consider two separate points A and B as an example.

The distance between A and B is the integer that represents the size of A and B.

The positive number (i.e. the distance) between A and B would be:

d= B-A

d = 6 - 1

d = 1
