How the 3D Distance Calculator works

Find the straight-line distance between two points in three-dimensional Cartesian space.

Formula

√((x2-x1) × (x2-x1)+(y2-y1) × (y2-y1)+(z2-z1) × (z2-z1))

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter every measurement using one consistent length or angle unit.
  2. Select Calculate to evaluate the formula.
  3. Review the substituted values in the calculation explanation.

Interpretation and limitations

All coordinates must use the same scale and unit. The result is non-negative. Decimal answers are rounded for display; retain additional precision for subsequent calculations.
