Question

What is distance formula and example?

Answer 1

distance formula, Algebraic expression that gives the distances between pairs of points in terms of their coordinates (see coordinate system). In three dimensional space, the distance between the points (a, b, c) and (d, e, f) is Square root of√(a − d)2 + (b − e)2 + (c − f)2.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Distance Formula itself is actually derived from the Pythagorean Theorem which is a 2 + b 2 = c 2 {a^2} + {b^2} = {c^2} a2+b2=c2 where c is the longest side of a right triangle (also known as the hypotenuse) and a and b are the other shorter sides (known as the legs of a right triangle).
