equidistant

Same distance away

Equidistant describes points or objects that are the same distance from a reference point or from each other.

Two towns might be equidistant from a city, or seats arranged equidistant around a table.

The word appears most often in geometry and mapmaking, where precise spatial relationships matter: The three vertices of an equilateral triangle are equidistant from each other.

In everyday use, it often emphasizes fairness or balance in positioning.
