Euclidean distance
d = √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)² + (z₂ − z₁)²]
The calculator omits the z-term automatically for 2D distance, so you can toggle between planar and spatial measurements.
How to use
- Enter starting point coordinates.
- Enter ending point coordinates, adding the z values if you need 3D distance.
- Review the resulting distance along with the component deltas.
Example
Input: Point A = (2, 5, 1), Point B = (9, 12, 4)
Output: Distance ≈ 11.4 units, Δx = 7, Δy = 7, Δz = 3
FAQ & notes
Can I switch units?
Yes—enter coordinates using any consistent unit (meters, feet, etc.) and the distance comes out in the same unit.
Does it support geographic coordinates?
This tool uses Cartesian coordinates. For lat/long great-circle distances, use a dedicated haversine calculator.
