Work out distance between two points instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
The distance formula is Pythagoras applied to the horizontal and vertical separations: d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²).
Distance formula
d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
Midpoint
M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
√(36 + 64) = 10, and the midpoint is (4, 6).
No. The differences are squared, so swapping the points leaves the distance unchanged.
