The distance formula calculates the straight-line distance between two points in 2D or 3D space. It is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.

공식

d = √[(x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²] (2D); d = √[(x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)² + (z₂−z₁)²] (3D)
P₁
first point (x₁, y₁)
P₂
second point (x₂, y₂)
d
distance between points (length)

단계별 가이드

  1. 12D: d = √((x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²)
  2. 23D: d = √((x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)² + (z₂−z₁)²)
  3. 3Midpoint: ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)
  4. 4Manhattan distance: |x₂−x₁| + |y₂−y₁|

자주 묻는 질문

Is the distance formula symmetric?

Yes! d(P₁, P₂) = d(P₂, P₁). The order doesn't matter.

Can distance be negative?

No, distance is always non-negative. It's the magnitude of the displacement vector.

How do I find the distance from a point to a line?

Use the point-to-line distance formula: d = |ax₀ + by₀ + c| / √(a² + b²).
