distance of a point inside a triangle from its three corners

[ABM26]

Hi,

I am trying to implement an algorithm which would calculate a distance of a point inside a triangle from its three corners. The point (X,Y) should output three distances each from every corner of a triangle.  I can think of some ways but just wondering if there are better solutions.

Any inputs appreciated?

Thanks.

Hi abm,

see the attachment (credits: the original idea is from an Altenbach comment in the RubeGoldberg-Thread)...
