Using distance formula is much easier than the Pythagorean theorem. Once youve done that just add the numbers that are under the radical sign and solve for d. Distance x 2 x 1 2 y 2 y 1 2.
Here are the beginning steps to help you get started.
Dlat lat2 - lat1. 2 3 4 1 Let A2 3 x 1 y 1 and B4 1 x 2 y 2 be the points. To find the distance between two points x 1 y 1 and x 2 y 2 all that you need to do is use the coordinates of these ordered pairs and apply the formula pictured below. Find the distance between the following pairs of points.
