If we place the 0 0 mark at the left endpoint and the mark on which the other endpoint falls on is the distance between two points. The distance formula is used to find the distance between any two given points. Distance 8 32 2 92 distance 8 3 2 2 9 2 distance 25121 distance 25 121 distance 146 distance 146 distance 1208 distance 1208.
Learn how to find the distance between two points by using the distance formula which is an application of the Pythagorean theorem.
The formula states that d x 2 x 1 2 y 2 y 1 2 displaystyle dsqrt x_2-x_12y_2-y_12 where d displaystyle d equals the distance of the line x 1 y 1 displaystyle x_1y_1 equal the coordinates of the first endpoint of the line segment and x 2 y 2 displaystyle x_2y_2 equal the coordinates of the second endpoint of the line segment. The distance formula is derived from Pythagorean theorem. X y 1 2 3 4 5 -1 -2 1 2 3 4 -1 A B C Length AB x2 x1 400 150 250. Two squared that is four plus nine squared is 81.
