Diagonal Distance Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the diagonal distance is:

\[ DD = \sqrt{V^2 + H^2} \]

Where:

\(DD\) is the Diagonal Distance
\(V\) is the vertical distance
\(H\) is the horizontal distance

What is Diagonal Distance?

The diagonal distance is the straight-line distance between two points in a plane, calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. It is useful in various fields such as geometry, physics, and engineering to determine the shortest path between two points.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Vertical Distance (V) = 3
Horizontal Distance (H) = 4

Using the formula:

\[ DD = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = 5 \]

The Diagonal Distance is 5 units.
