Straight-line distance
5.0000 coordinate units
Use the same coordinate scale on all axes. This computes straight-line distance, not travel distance.
Distance = square root of the sum of squared coordinate differences.
Euclidean distance is √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²], adding (z₂ − z₁)² in 3D. Geographic mode uses the haversine formula on a sphere of radius 6,371.0088 km.
Points (0, 0) and (3, 4) are √(9 + 16) = 5 coordinate units apart.
No. It estimates the shortest arc on a spherical Earth. Roads, elevation and ellipsoidal surveying require other data.
