Step-by-step explanation:
this creates a right-angled triangle, with the pure coordinate changes being the legs, and the actual distance being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle).
and so, we can use Pythagoras :
distance² = leg1² + leg2² = 300² + 500² =
= 90000 + 250000 = 340000
distance = sqrt(340000) = sqrt(10000×34) = 100×sqrt(34) =
= 583.0951895... km ≈ 583 km
