calculate an angle and distance from three points

hi...How to calculate an angle and distance from three points? ex P1 = (x=2, y=50) P2 = (x=9, y=40) P3 = (x=5, y=20)

You can not define an angle and a distance between 3 points. Do you mean by pairs of those 3 points?

I'll show you how to find one of the angles in the triangle P1 = [x1;y1], P2 = [x2;y2], P3 = [x3;y3]. The inner angle at vertex P1 is given by:
A1 = atan2(abs((x2-x1)*(y3-y1)-(x3-x1)*(y2-y1)), ...
(x2-x1)*(x3-x1)+(y2-y1)*(y3-y1));
As for the "distance", please tell us what kind of distance you have in mind. Distance from what to what?

first of all thank you very much. I'm looking for the distance between P1,P2 and P1,P3 for then stored in an array
Thank you very much it is really helpful

The distance can be calculated as the norm of the vector between two points:
P1 = [2; 50], P2 = [9; 40], P3 = [5; 20]
d1 = norm(P2-P1);
d2 = norm(P3-P1);
distances =[d1; d2]
