How we arrived at the values of this DIST?

I've a dataset on the decathlon (sports),i've only one question, when I did the last thing, deca.pca$ind, R give me an output like this 25
But how we arrived at the values of this DIST?

library(FactoMineR)
read.table("decathlon.txt")
deca=read.table("decathlon.txt")
attach(decathlon)
deca.pca=PCA(deca,scale.unit=T,ncp=5,graph=T,quanti.sup=c(11,12),quali.sup=(13))
summary(deca.pca)
deca.pca$ind

I understand that it is quite a bit intimidating if you continue to get flagged in your first and second threads only, but posting the same question again and again without any additional information and bumping it unnecessarily probably will not be helpful.

Regarding your question on dist, you can take a look here:

If you are not satisfied with the explanation provided there, may be you can go through the source code or contact the authors of the package.

Hope this helps.
