Given that the distance between their centers is. Distance Between Two Points. The distance between two points AxA yA A x A y A and BxB yB B x B y B in two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate plane is the length of the segment connecting them AB dA B xB xA2 yB yA2 A B d A B x B - x A 2 y B - y A 2.
Substitute in the values.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find d the distance between the two points. Given two points x 1 y 1 and x 2 y 2 recall that their horizontal distance from one another is D x x 2 x 1 and their vertical distance from one another is D y y 2 y 1. Given that the distance between their centers is. Actually the word distance normally denotes positive distance.
