Calculate the straight-line distance between two points on a plane and see the vector plotted.
How to use the Distance Calculator
- Enter X1, Y1, X2 and Y2.
- Press Calculate Distance.
Formula and method
d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
Worked example
The distance between (0, 0) and (3, 4) is 5.
Tips
- This is the shortest (Euclidean) distance, not the distance along roads.
