Help $$$$$ how to find distance between points

[7611172672]

Hello My Friends

Could you please help me to write such a program in Matlab or other software able to find the distance from 1,1 to 3,3 .



[COLOR="#FF0000"]Note: all the points are real on the map an has ( longitude) and ( latitude ).

Pythagorean Theorem

They're teaching this to you in school, right?

Distance between all points is 3?

The answer must be 3!

The accepted solution gets $$$$ from a Nigerian prince. You pay only shipping and handling. 😄

This is not a matlab forum. An example for "other" software is LabVIEW. Do you have it installed?

This can be an extremely difficult question.

Since this is on a real map, are the distanced large enough that you need to consider the curvature of the earth? Do you want the shortest path along the surface or are you allowed to dig underground? Do you need to account for mountains?

 I sincerely doubt that this is anything more than a homework question, especially given the way it was asked. But, assuming it's not (and even if it is)... http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html

All that trig.
