**C#**
``` C#
public static decimal GetDistance(
	decimal latitudeOrigin,
	decimal longitudeOrigin,
	decimal latitudeDestination,
	decimal longitudeDestination,
	MeasurementSystem measurementSystem = MeasurementSystem.Imperial
)
```
**F#**
``` F#
static member GetDistance : 
        latitudeOrigin : decimal * 
        longitudeOrigin : decimal *
