Distance between two coordinates.
The Distance Calculator measures the straight-line distance between two points on a 2D plane. Enter the coordinates of point A and point B and it returns the distance along with the horizontal and vertical change.
It applies the distance formula, which is the Pythagorean theorem applied to the horizontal and vertical gaps between the two points.
They are the differences in the x and y coordinates: Δx = x₂ − x₁ and Δy = y₂ − y₁.
Yes. Points in any quadrant work; the squaring in the formula handles negative differences correctly.
Yes, it is the straight-line (Euclidean) distance, which is always the shortest path between two points on a plane.
The horizontal and vertical gaps form the two legs of a right triangle, and the distance is its hypotenuse.
