3D Distance Calculator
Enter the coordinates of two points in 3D space to calculate the distance between them.
3D Distance Calculator
Calculate the straight-line distance between two points in 3D space.
This is a straightforward geometric calculation; results are only as accurate as the coordinates entered.
This calculator extends the standard 2D distance formula into three dimensions, useful for geometry, physics, computer graphics, and engineering problems involving points in 3D space.
Example
- With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Distance ≈ 13.0000.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula used?
The 3D distance formula is the square root of the sum of the squared differences in each coordinate: √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²).
Can this be used for 2D points too?
Yes — simply enter 0 for both Z coordinates, and the formula reduces to the standard 2D distance formula.
