About Distance Calculator
The Distance Calculator is a tool used to find the distance between two points in either a 2-dimensional (2D) or 3-dimensional (3D) space. In 2D space, you need the x and y coordinates of both points. The formula used is derived from the Pythagorean theorem: √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²) . For 3D space, you also need the z-coordinates, and the formula extends to: √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²) . This calculator is useful in various fields like geometry, physics, engineering, and computer graphics to measure spatial separation between points.
