<Content | Previous | Next >

Euclidean Distance is the most common use of distance. In most cases when people said about distance , they will refer to Euclidean distance. Euclidean distance or simply 'distance' examines the root of square differences between coordinates of a pair of objects.

Formula

For example:

Point A has coordinate (0, 3, 4, 5) and point B has coordinate (7, 6, 3, -1).

The Euclidean Distance between point A and B is

Euclidean distance is a special case of Minkowski distance with
