The following distance formula calculator will calculate for you the distance between two points on the coordinate system.
Calculate the distance between two points in 2D or 3D space.
Guidelines to use the calculator
When entering numbers, do not use a slash: "/" or "\"
Point #1: Enter point #1 in the boxes that say x1, y1.
Point #2: Enter point #2 in the boxes that say x2, y2.
Do not enter units such as cm, inch, m, ft, etc...
Enter all problems without the unit. Then, after the calculator give you the answer, put it next to the answer.
Example:
(x1, y1) = (17 cm, 12 cm)
(x1, y1) = (9 cm, 6 cm)
Enter 17 in the box that say x1
Enter 12 in the box that say y1
Enter 9 in the box that say x2
Enter 6 in the box that say y2
After you hit calculate, you should get 10 as an answer. The answer is then 10 cm.
