The following distance formula calculator will calculate for you the distance between two points on the coordinate system. The order of the points does not matter for the formula as long as the points chosen are consistent. Enter point 1 in the boxes that say x1 y1.
D x 2 x 1 2 y 2 y 1 2.
5 - 10 2 25. Distance a2 b2 Imagine you know the location of two points A and B like here. The distance between two points is the length of the path connecting them. D x2 - x12 y2 - y12.
