Coordinate Grid Calculator

Find the distance and midpoint between two grid points.

Calculated Output

Distance 5

Midpoint x 2.5

Midpoint y 4

Formula: distance = √(Δx² + Δy²); midpoint = average of coordinates

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. x₁ = 1

3. y₁ = 2

4. x₂ = 4

5. y₂ = 6

7. Distance = 5

8. Midpoint x = 2.5

9. Midpoint y = 4

The math behind it

Distance uses the Pythagorean theorem on Δx and Δy; the midpoint averages the x- and y-coordinates.

(1, 2) to (4, 6) → distance 5, midpoint (2.5, 4).

Does point order matter?

No — distance and midpoint are the same whichever point you list first.
