Distance Between Two Points Formula
Finds the straight-line distance between two points in a Cartesian plane.
Formula
d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)
Discipline: Mathematics. Result unit: m.
Variables and units
- d — Distance (m): Distance between the two points
- x₁ — First X Coordinate (m): X coordinate of the first point
- y₁ — First Y Coordinate (m): Y coordinate of the first point
- x₂ — Second X Coordinate (m): X coordinate of the second point
- y₂ — Second Y Coordinate (m): Y coordinate of the second point
