Points (1,2) and (4,6) are 5 units apart.
Calculate straight-line distance between two points on a 2D coordinate plane. It is designed for quick estimates and everyday problem solving. When a calculation affects a contract, tax filing, medical decision or other high-stakes situation, verify the result with the appropriate professional or authoritative source.
The points (1, 2) and (4, 6) differ by 3 horizontally and 4 vertically. The distance is √(3² + 4²) = √25 = 5 coordinate units.
Scope: this is straight-line Euclidean distance on a flat coordinate plane. It is not travel distance on roads and does not automatically account for latitude, longitude, or the curvature of Earth.
Calculate straight-line distance between two points on a 2D coordinate plane.
Distance = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²).
