    We present several distance formulae in the space of compact operators in terms of extreme points and semi-inner-products. We characterize best approximation to an element out of a subspace and obtain a sufficient condition for unique best approximation. The usefulness of the results is demonstrated with examples. Finally, using the distance formulae we characterize approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality of an element to a subspace in the space of compact operators.
