Work out distance in 3d instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
The three-dimensional distance formula applies Pythagoras twice: √((Δx)² + (Δy)² + (Δz)²). The horizontal part alone is the distance measured on the ground.
3D distance
d = √((x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)² + (z₂−z₁)²)
Δ = (3, 4, 12), so the distance is 13 — a 3-4-12-13 Pythagorean quadruple.
Yes. In n dimensions the distance is the square root of the sum of all n squared differences.
