Equidistant is what has equal distance.
When a math problem, for example, says that there are two points equidistant from a third point, it means that the two points are the same distance from the third.
That is, if Point 01 is 30 cm away from Point 03, and Point 01 and Point 02 are equidistant, Point 02 is 30 cm away from Point 03 as well. This is called the equidistance between two points.
The word equidistant is formed by two Latin words: aequus, which means equal, and distant, which is distant. Which corresponds to the equal distance.
It can also be related to the equivalent Portuguese term. An equidistant distance is equivalent to the same distance. The two words have a Latin origin aequus.
The word equidistant is an adjective of two genders, that is, it is the same if used to complement a feminine or masculine noun.
In geography, the word equidistant is also often used to refer to equal paths between cities or regions.
Example: Brasília and Florianópolis are equidistant from Rio de Janeiro.
