C program 02

2. Find the distance between two points.

The Distance Formula between Two Points is derived from the Pythagoras Theorem.

According to the Pythagoras Theorem,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²

Example: z² = x² + y²

Formula To Calculate Distance Between Two Points in C Programming

Distance Between Two Points =  √ (x1 – y1)² + (x2 – y2)²

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <math.h>

int main()

{

    float x1, x2, y1, y2, distance;

    printf("\nEnter The Coordinates of Point A:\n");

    printf("\nX - Axis Coordinate: \t");

    scanf("%f", &x1);

    printf("\nY - Axis Coordinate: \t");

    scanf("%f", &x2);

    printf("\nEnter The Coordinates of Point B:\n");

    printf("\nY - Axis Coordinate:\t");

    scanf("%f", &y1);

    printf("\nY - Axis Coordinate: \t");

    scanf("%f", &y2);

    distance = sqrt((x1 - y1) * (x1 - y1) + (x2 - y2) * (x2 - y2));

    printf("\nDistance between Points A and B: %f\n", distance);

}
