Did we solve your problem today?

Euclidean distance is the ordinary straight-line distance between two points.

The math behind it

It generalises the Pythagorean theorem to any number of dimensions: square the differences, sum them, take the square root.

Worked example

(1,2,3) to (4,6,3) → √(9 + 16 + 0) = 5.

FAQ

How is it different from Manhattan distance?

Euclidean goes in a straight line; Manhattan sums the axis-aligned steps.
