`d = |vecV - vecU|`

Enter a value for all fields

The Distance between Vectors ( |V - U| ) calculator computes Distance Between Vectors the magnitude of the difference of the end points of two vectors in three dimensional space.  The result is the distance between the endpoints of vector U and vector V.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

• (V):  Vector V
• (U):  Vector U

Distance between Vectors ( |V - U| ): The calculator returns the difference between the end points of vectors V and U.
