Distance Formula Calculator
Calculate straight-line distance between two points in a 2D Cartesian plane.
Calculate distance
Formula
d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
Worked example
From (0, 0) to (3, 4), the distance is √(9 + 16) = 5.

Limitations
This is 2D Cartesian straight-line distance. It is not geographic great-circle distance and does not account for roads, routes, terrain, or coordinate-system projections.
