Determine the distance between points (x1, y1) and point (x2, y2), and assign the result to point Distance. The calculation is:

Given:

The two points are and .

To find:

The distance between given points.

Solution:

Plot the two points and randomly randomly on a coordinate plane, then form a right angle triangle as shown in the below figure.

Now, the hypotenuse is the distance between the two points.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

Taking square root on both sides, we get

       [Distance is always positive]

Therefore, the distance between the two points is . It is also known as distance formula.
