Answer:

the answer is: Yes, the distance between a line be a decimal.

Explanation:

" The distance between two straight lines in the plane is the minimum distance between any two points lying on the lines".

Yes, finding the distance between a line can be in decimals.

let r and s be two lines such that P(a,b) and Q(c,d) are points on the line.

then the distance between lines is given by:


√((a-c)^2+(b-d)^2)

so, this square root value may come in decimal as well.

Hence, the distance between two lines can be in decimals.
