%N Decimal expansion of the shortest distance from the x axis through (4,1) to the line y=x/2.

%C The shortest segment from one side of an angle T through a point P inside T is called the Philo line of P in T. For discussions and guides to related sequences, see A197032, A197008 and A195284.

%e length of Philo line: 1.94634640...

%e endpoint on x axis: (4.2236, 0); see A197154

%e endpoint on line y=3x: (3.79888, 1.89944)

%t f[t_] := (t - k*t/(k + m*t - m*h))^2 + (m*k*t/(k + m*t - m*h))^2;

%t g[t_] := D[f[t], t]; Factor[g[t]]

%t p[t_] := h^2 k + k^3 - h^3 m - h k^2 m - 3 h k t + 3 h^2 m t + 2 k t^2 - 3 h m t^2 + m t^3
