How does the distance to (Sprite) block work?

I am trying to make a scrolling game but need to find how the “Distance to ___” reporter block works, if you know, can you please reply with the answer (as in the formula)

How does the distance to (Sprite) block work?

(distance to [Sprite1 v]) // outputs the distance between the sprite the block is in to the sprite in the dropdown
if <(distance to [item v]) < [10]> then
pickup item :: custom 
end

It won't work for your scrolling game. The block uses the x and y position of the sprites on the screen and the distance formula:

define Distance between sprites (x1) (y1) (x2) (y2)
set [distance v] to ([sqrt v] of ((((x2) - (x1)) * ((x2) - (x1))) + (((y2) - (y1)) * ((y2) - (y1)))))
