Distance = speed × time. d = s × t. Derivation of all the Formulas. d = refers to the distance traveled by body or object in meters (m) s = refers to the speed of the object or body in meter per second (m/s) t = refers to the time consumed by object or body to cover the distance in seconds (s) Solved Example on Distance Formula. Example 1.

Draw a formula triangle for speed, distance and time. Working clockwise from the top, enter D for distance, T for time and S for speed. Use the formula triangle to work out the correct...
The formula for speed distance time is mathematically given as: Speed = Distance/Time. Where, x = Speed in m/s, d = Distance travelled in m, t= time taken in s. Distance travelled formula. If any of the two values among speed, distance and time are given, we can use this formula and find the unknown quantity.
Let’s calculate first the distance that john travels. While calculating distance, we look at the numeric value of interval between traveled points. As you can see from Figure 1.2 he travels from A to B to C. Distance from A to B is 4m and B to C is 3 m. Their sum will give us total distance; 4+3=7. Then it’s time to calculate displacement.
The distance between two points \(P= (x_1, y_1)\) and \(Q= (x_2, y_2)\) can be found using the following formula: \[PQ = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}.\ _\square\] Construct a triangle \(\triangle PQR,\) where \(R\) has the coordinates \((x_2, y_1)\).
