# Vector2.DistanceBetweenSquared

```csharp
static float DistanceBetweenSquared(Vector2 a, Vector2 b)
```

Returns squared distance between the 2 given vectors. This is faster than [DistanceBetween](/api/Vector2/DistanceBetween),
and can be used for things like comparing distances, as long as only squared values are used.

### Parameters

- `a` (`Vector2`)
- `b` (`Vector2`)

### Returns

`float`

Declared in [Vector2](/api/Vector2).
Assembly: `Sandbox.System`.
