Distance Between Two Points Calculator

Enter (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) to compute Euclidean distance in the coordinate plane.

How this tool works

Distance d = √[(x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²].

Example

Points (1,2) and (7,10) differ by 6 horizontally and 8 vertically, so the distance is 10.

Common questions

Is this geographic distance on Earth?

No. It is Cartesian planar distance; latitude/longitude requires spherical or geodesic calculations.

Can coordinates be negative?

Yes. Any real Cartesian coordinates can be entered.
