Calculate Vertical Distance



Formula

The formula to calculate the Vertical Distance (Dv) is:

\[ Dv = \sqrt{TD^2 - HD^2} \]

What is Vertical Distance?

Vertical distance is the measurement of height or depth between two points. It is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, considering the total distance and the horizontal distance. This measurement is often used in various fields such as engineering, physics, and navigation to determine elevation or depth.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Vertical Distance (Dv):

\[ Dv = \sqrt{TD^2 - HD^2} = \sqrt{10^2 - 6^2} = \sqrt{100 - 36} = \sqrt{64} = 8 \]

The Vertical Distance (Dv) is 8.
