This segment calculator tool helps you easily calculate the length of a line segment between two points on a plane.
How to Use the Segment Calculator
To use this segment calculator, enter the coordinates of the two endpoints of the segment into the respective fields (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). After entering the values, click the “Calculate” button to see the result, which will be the length of the segment.
How it Calculates the Results
The calculator uses the distance formula to calculate the length of the segment between two points in a Cartesian plane. The formula is:
√((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
By plugging in the provided coordinates, the calculator computes the distance and outputs the result in the “Result” field.
Limitations
This calculator only works for numerical input values. Ensure that all fields are filled with numerical values, and avoid leaving any fields blank to prevent errors. The precision of the result is limited to two decimal places.
