Distance Calculator
Calculate the straight-line (Euclidean) distance between two points using the distance formula, which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
Distance Formula
d = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²]
This is the Pythagorean theorem applied to coordinates. Example: (0,0) to (3,4) = √(9+16) = √25 = 5
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Euclidean distance?
Euclidean distance is the straight-line distance between two points, as measured with a ruler. It's the shortest path between two points in flat space.
How does this relate to the Pythagorean theorem?
The distance formula IS the Pythagorean theorem. The horizontal difference is one leg, vertical difference is the other leg, and distance is the hypotenuse.
