Answer:
Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria. The distance from a point A to a point B is sometimes denoted as |ABI
The distance formula is really just the Pythagorean Theorem in disguise. To calculate the distance AB between point A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) , first draw a right triangle which has the segment ¯AB as its hypotenuse. Since AC is a horizontal distance, it is just the difference between the x -coordinates: |(x2−x1)| .
