Calculate the mathematical properties involving coordinates

Calculate the Distance Between 2 Points on a 2 Dimensional Plane

Example: coorDistance(2,2,14,11) will return 15

const euclideanDistance = (longitude1, latitude1, longitude2, latitude2) => {

const width = longitude2 - longitude1

const height = latitude2 - latitude1

return (Math.sqrt(width * width + height * height))

}

const manhattanDistance = (longitude1, latitude1, longitude2, latitude2) => {

const width = Math.abs(longitude2 - longitude1)

const height = Math.abs(latitude2 - latitude1)

return width + height

}

export { euclideanDistance, manhattanDistance }
