The Delta x calculator computes the difference between two lengths or distances (x₂) and (x₁).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(x₁) Length 1
(x₂) Length 2

Delta x (Δx): The calculator returns the difference in meters. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the change in distance is:

Δx= x₂ - x₁

where:

Δx is the difference in time between the two reference lengths.
x₁ is length reference point one.
x₂ is length reference point two.
