Distance between two points

Distance between two points

Given, Point A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2) are two points on the cartesian plane

 

Using Pythagoras Theorem

$
\begin{aligned}
& c^2=a^2+b^2 \\
& A B^2=a^2+b^2 \\
& A B^2=\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2 \\
& |A B|=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}
\end{aligned}
$
Note:

The distance of a point $\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y})$ from the origin $\mathrm{O}(0,0)$ is given by

$
|O A|=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}
