The calculated distance would be in square units instead of linear units.

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

The Distance Formula itself is actually derived from the Pythagorean Theorem. This is the formula where c is the longest side of a right triangle (also known as the hypotenuse) and a and b are the other shorter sides (known as the legs of a right triangle).

The distance formula is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points.
