What does the Distance Calculator work out?

Straight-line distance between two points. It is one of the Math tools on Mondo Knows.

How is the Distance Calculator calculated?

The maths is short enough to check by hand: d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2).

Do I need to sign up, and is my data stored?

No sign-up, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. The calculation runs in your own browser, so the figures stay on your device and the page works offline once loaded.
