Distance Calculator — free online calculator.
Formula
- Distance Calculator calculates its result from Point 1 — x₁, Point 1 — y₁, Point 2 — x₂, Point 2 — y₂. It uses the formula d = √((x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²). Midpoint = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2). Derived from the Pythagorean theorem.. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Point 1 — x₁, Point 1 — y₁, Point 2 — x₂, Point 2 — y₂. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Distance
- Point 1 — x₁: 1
- Point 1 — y₁: 2
- Point 2 — x₂: 4
- Point 2 — y₂: 6
For (1,2) and (4,6): Δx = 3, Δy = 4, distance = 5 and midpoint is (2.5,4).
