It is a formula for calculating he distance when given some information. What information is given is not specified in the question.

On a car journey, for example, it could be the odometer reading at the end minus the reading at the start;

for the distance between two locations far apart on the surface of the earth, you would need to calculate the length of an arc of the great circle through the two places;

if travelling with variable speed, it could be the integral of the speed-time graph.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
