Distance between two points

To calculate the distance between two points in a plane, we have to use distance formula as per described in coordinate geometry. With the help of this formula, we can find the distance between any two points marked in an x-y coordinate

Distance Formula

Distance between two points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) is given by:

PQ = √[(x2– x1)2+ (y2– y1)2]

It is known as distance formula.
