Exactly in the same way as using the formula for any straight line between two points which is:-
Square root of [(x1-x2)squared+(y1-y2)squared]
Subtract the y-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
Subtracting the y-coordinates of two points gives you the vertical distance between them, which represents the length of the vertical segment. This is because the y-coordinate indicates the vertical position on a Cartesian plane. The formula for the length of the vertical segment is |y2 - y1|, where y1 and y2 are the y-coordinates of the two points. The absolute value ensures that the distance is always a positive value, regardless of the order of the points.
a chord
line segment
A chord is a line which connects two points which lie on a circle.
Subtract the y-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
A vertical line goes straight up an down, so a vertical line segment is a line segment that goes straight up and down. Simple.

To find the perpendicular distance between two points, you can use the distance formula and the concept of perpendicular lines. First, calculate the distance between the two points using the distance formula. Then, find the slope of the line passing through the two points. The perpendicular distance is the length of the line segment that connects the two points and forms a right angle with the line passing through them.
