Question

How is the pythogorean theorem used to determine the distance formula

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance formula uses the coordinates of points and the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the distance between points. If A and B form the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the length of AB can be found using this formula, leg2 + leg2 = hypotenuse2 (or you can use A squared + B squared = C squared)
