Point 1
Point 2
How Distance Calculation Works
Formula
d = ā((xāāxā)Ā² + (yāāyā)Ā² + (zāāzā)Ā²)
- 1Enter the coordinates of both points.
- 2Choose 2D (x, y) or 3D (x, y, z) mode.
- 3The calculator finds the difference in each coordinate.
- 4Each difference is squared, and the squares are summed.
- 5The square root of the sum gives the Euclidean distance.
About Distance Calculator
Calculate the distance between two points in 2D or 3D space using the Euclidean distance formula. Step-by-step breakdown of the calculation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Euclidean distance?
Euclidean distance is the straight-line distance between two points in space. It's the most common distance metric and comes from the Pythagorean theorem.
When should I use 3D mode?
Use 3D mode when your points have x, y, and z coordinates ā for example in physics, 3D graphics, or spatial analysis.
Can this handle negative coordinates?
Yes, the formula works with any real-number coordinates.
