Distance Between Points Calculator
Find the straight-line distance between two points on a flat plane.
This distance is the straight-line separation between the two points, so it shows how far apart they are.
Formula
Distance = square root of ((x2 − x1) squared + (y2 − y1) squared).
How it works
Enter two points. The calculator applies the distance formula, which comes from the Pythagorean theorem. Points (0,0) and (3,4) are 5 units apart.
