Hi All,
I have two 3D points in space with x, y, and z coordinates (1 and 2, red dots in the image). I want to calcuate "d". I know a bit about euclidean distances and pdist2 but not sure if this is what I need. Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!

d = sqrt((x1-x2).^2 + (y1-y2).^2); % it does not depend on z

The square of the distance/difference along x direction between the two points + The square of the distance/difference along y direction between the two points
