The distance formula calculates the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. It is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
Distance calculations are used in navigation, physics, engineering, mapping and coordinate geometry.
This calculator quickly computes the distance between two points without manual calculation.
Point A (2,3) Point B (6,7) d = √((6−2)² + (7−3)²) d = √(16 + 16) d = √32 = 5.657
