Proving Shortest Distance Between 3 Points on a Circle

In summary, the conversation discusses proving or showing that there is always a shorter way between any two points on the perimeter of a circle, with a diagram and the distance being between 0 and the diameter of the circle. However, without further clarification, it is not possible to determine if the suggested solution is correct.

I have 3 point on a perimeter of circle.
How I prove/show between every the two point of them there is always short way that the way between the other points?

Are you talking about the distance along the circumference of the circle?

I mean to segments between the 3 points.

Can you provide a diagram illustrating what you're trying to do?

The answer:
The distance be between 0 to D.
D = diameter.
Am I right?

As it seems that we don't know what the question is asking I don't think anyone can tell you if that's right or not.
