    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}
    $
