There are four Period Luminosity relations from three sources, [3, 5, 9, 11], that are compared for theiraccuracy in calculating distances and to see how much uncertainty has to be considered when calculatingother distances based on these. Here, the relations are compared by using each to calculate and compare thedistances of the stars: BK Vir, L2 Pup, R Hor, R Hya, R Lep, and RR Aql; along with using data from AAVSOand SIMBAD in the calculations. The relations have an uncertainty that ranges from about 30%-40%, exceptfor the relation from [9] that has an uncertainty of 90%
