About the Distance Calculator

The distance between two points is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by their horizontal and vertical differences: d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²). From (1, 1) to (4, 5): Δx = 3, Δy = 4, so d = √(9 + 16) = 5.

Related Quantities

The same triangle yields the segment's slope (Δy ÷ Δx), and the midpoint ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2) — the point that splits the segment in half. Together these describe a line segment completely: direction, length, and position.
