Summary: Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra with stable rank one and real rank zero. In this paper, it is shown that the usual distance $d_U$ defined on the approximate unitary equivalence classes (or unitary orbits) of the positive elements in $A$ is equal to the distance $d_W$ defined on morphisms from Cuntz semigroup of $C_0(0,1]$ to the Cuntz semigrout of $A$.
