Fuzzy Distance of Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers

Fuzzy distance is applied on data analysis, classification, and product positioning analysis widely. In this paper, We introduce a fuzzy distance by using graded mean integration representation of generalized fuzzy number and the span of fuzzy number, We also discuss the distance of the linguistic data of “greater or less than x” and “about x”. It is reasonable to say “the fuzzy distance of about 3 and about 7 is about 4 not 4.”
