š Understanding Distance Between Two Points
The distance between two points in a 2D plane is calculated using the distance formula:
Distance = ā((Xā – Xā)² + (Yā – Yā)²)
š Examples of Distance Calculation
Point 1 (Xā, Yā) | Point 2 (Xā, Yā) | Distance |
---|---|---|
(1, 2) | (4, 6) | 5 |
(-2, 3) | (3, -1) | 6.40 |
(5, 5) | (10, 10) | 7.07 |
š§ Practical Applications of Distance Calculation
1. Navigation & GPS: Used to find the shortest route between two locations.
2. Geometry & Engineering: Helps in designing structures and plotting coordinates.
3. Robotics & AI: Essential for object tracking, motion planning, and spatial analysis.
ā FAQs
Q1: How do I find the distance between two points?
ā
Use the formula ā((Xā – Xā)² + (Yā – Yā)²) to calculate the distance between two points.
Q2: What units should I use?
ā
The result will be in the same units as the input values (e.g., meters, kilometers, miles).
Q3: Can I use this formula in three dimensions?
ā
Yes, in 3D, the formula is ā((Xā – Xā)² + (Yā – Yā)² + (Zā – Zā)²).
Q4: Where is distance calculation used?
ā
It is widely used in navigation, construction, mapping, and computer graphics.
Q5: How does changing coordinates affect the distance?
ā
Moving the points farther apart increases the distance, while closer points have a smaller distance.
