Distance between two points

Question:: Calculate the distance between two points normally and on google earth.

Solution :: The concept of distance between two points in a coordinate plane can be understood using a coordinate plane in 2-D and 3-D

In a 2-D plane the distance between two points can be calculated as
General point in a 2-D plane can be expressed as (x,y)
Take the two points to be calculated as (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
The distance between two points can be calculated as

                                 Distance between the points A and B can be calculated by using the right
                                  angle triangle ABC
                                 Distance between two points is given by
                          

In a 3-D plane the distance between two points can be calculated as
General point in a 3-D plane is expressed as (x,y,z) in rectangular coordinate system

Construct a cuboid using the given points A and B


Distance between the two points is given by
