Consider P1(a,c) and P2(b, d) to be two points on a 2D plane where (a, b) are the respective minimum and maximum values of Northern Latitude (LAT_N) and (c, d) are the respective minimum and maximum values of Western Longitude (LONG_W) in STATION.
Query the Euclidean Distance between points P1 and P2 and format your answer to display 4 decimal digits.
Input Format
The STATION table is described as follows:
Field | Type |
---|---|
ID | NUMBER |
CITY | VARCHAR2(21) |
STATE | VARCHAR2(2) |
LAT_N | NUMBER |
LONG_W | NUMBER |
where LAT_N is the northern latitude and LONG_W is the western longitude.
MY ANSWER
SELECT ROUND(SQRT(POW(MIN(LAT_N) - MAX(LAT_N),2) + POW(MIN(LONG_W)-MAX(LONG_W),2)),4)
FROM STATION
