Abstract
In the vector space theory, we have talked about points, lines, and planes as translates of subspaces of a vector space. In this chapter, we shall talk about the concepts of angle between lines (planes), distance between points, shortest distances between planes, area, and volumes of parallelepiped, etc. We also discuss rigid motions in an inner product space.
