In the below distance on a coordinate plane calculator enter the values for two set of x and y coordinates ie X0 Y0 and X1 Y1 and click calculate to know the distance between 2 points in 2-dimensional space. Therefore the distance from point P to the plane is along a line parallel to the normal vector which is shown as a gray line segment. This formula was made from Pythagoras triangle theorem.
Simply subtract their x-coordinates to find the length of the segment between them.
The point nearest to 4 2 6 in the x y -plane is therefore 4 2 0 with distance 6 and the point nearest to 4 2 6 in the y z -plane is 0 2 6 with distance 4. The distance between two points A x 1 y 1 z 1 and B x 2 y 2 z 2 in a three-dimensional plane is given by the formula. A point on a coordinate plane is marked with two coordinates per point x horizontal axis and y vertical axis. To carry on the example.
