The formula used to find the length of a line segment is the same formula as the Pythagoras theorem.

We take CD as the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle and the distance between the x-coordinates and y-coordinates as the length of two short sides.

We can write the formula as
CD = \sqrt{( x_{1}- x_{0})  ^{2}+ ( y_{1}- y_{0})  ^{2}  }
CD = \sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+ (b-b)^{2}  }
