Distance Between Two Points Calculator
Enter the coordinates of two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) — the distance between them is calculated instantly, with the steps shown so you can follow the working.
How to use
- Enter the x and y coordinates of the first point.
- Enter the x and y coordinates of the second point.
- The result shows the distance with steps: Δx, Δy and √((Δx)² + (Δy)²).
Note: The distance formula comes from the Pythagoras theorem: d = √((x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²).
Good to know
- The formula comes from the Pythagoras theorem: d = √((x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²).
- The sign of the coordinates does not matter — distance is always positive.
- The steps show Δx and Δy so you can check the working.
