can anyone give me an innovative and new idea for explaining distance formula in coordinate geometry?

The distant formula is the variant of the Pythagorean Theorem that is used in geometry
If in case you are given the two points are you are required to find out how far apart they are,you can draw a lines that forms a right angle triangle,using these points as two of corners.
It you are required to find the lengths of the horizontal and vertical sides of the right angle triangle;just subtract the x-values and the y-values.Hence use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side.
